POA

From the Polish Village Series, this sketch formed part of a wider body of works which depicted Synagogues destroyed during World War II. In Stella's own words: 'These synagogues were destroyed during the war, and there were two things interesting about them. One was that there was a kind of geometry in the construction, the wooden construction, which I would call interlocking-ness: interlocking parts that are interesting as a kind of geometry, the other thing that was compelling was that the trace of the destruction of these synagogues was from Berlin to Warsaw to Moscow. The development of abstraction in the twentieth century traces that same path, from Moscow to Warsaw to Berlin and back.'
