Theresa Bernstein: A Century in Art

I recently visited the exhibition "Theresa Bernstein: A Century in Art" at The Graduate Center, CUNY (City University of New York).

Theresa Bernstein (1890-2002), was born in Austria, and immigrated to New York with her parents when she was a toddler.

She got married in 1919. In 1920, she gave birth to her only child - her daughter, who later died a few months later as an infant.

Still Life: Mother, Child, and Flowers, 1940s

 Actually none of these paintings are in this exhibition, but I feel her sorrow of losing her baby for the next 80+ years.
