The art of the incorruptible
Lectury by Thomas D. Trummer

The colors shine fluorescent, the themes are precarious and upsetting. People show themselves in conflict and under extremes. Miriam Cahn shows no shyness. Her painting resembles an ethical self-assignment, her pictures are a wake-up call. The incorruptible is concerned with nothing less than humanity.
