He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons, these paintings, along with his later nonconformist work, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars, the 1917 revolution, and political terror, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable, neglected, and marginalized people: children, the elderly, ethnic minorities, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances, Lembersky portrayed his subjects with empathy, dignity, and admiration. \n\n\u201cFor my father, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom, individuality, and personalized creativity, without which it ceased to be art.\u201d\n\u2014 Galina Lembersky, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky, and Genevi\u00e8ve Zubrzycki, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

The exhibition features sixty works on paper completed between 2024 and 2026.\n\nThis body of work responds to Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis\u2019 cinematic adaptations of three tragedies by Euripides dealing with the Trojan War and its aftermath: Electra (1962), The Trojan Women (1971), and Iphigenia (1977). The work is in close conversation with Vinyl Euripides (2022), Cogswell\u2019s adhesive vinyl installation on three floors of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens, Greece, which also responded to the cinematic trilogy. By following Cacoyannis\u2019 adaptations, Cogswell builds on a cross-cultural history of restaging these tragedies to examine the human suffering caused by war, imperial overreach, and abuse of power; and the dehumanizing consequences of revenge as a course of justice.\n\nWithin each drawing multiple scenes from the three narratives are overlaid within single frames, suggesting the unseen entanglements that bind these ancient stories into such a persistent vision of our human position.\n\nThe grid of paintings encircling the gallery proposes a linear narrative but delivers instead a sequence that loops and turns on itself, a stuck frame that stutters until bursting in flames. The grid also evokes the net that is a central feature of the series--the web of fate and circumstance that governs each of our lives, that determines who we are and what is possible for us at any given moment in history.\n\nThe drawings are also characterized by a repeated motif of hands as consuming flames. Hands have unlimited expressive and narrative potential. They testify to the centrality of making in the development of human cognition. They are reminders of the constructed world and the laborers responsible for bringing it into being. We use hands as a form of communication to shape and express our inner states. Hands teach us to feel and to reason, to count and to indicate. They give us agency, as creators but also as destroyers. They give form to our willingness to act in the world, in greed or compassion.\n\n---\n\n**This exhibition is made possible with funding from the Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan Office of Research.**\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nI am grateful to the Modern Greek Program in the Department of Classical Studies, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan, for their ongoing support for my research and the dissemination of this project.", "occurrence_notes":"All welcome!
