A passive witness of History, this painting is a survivor.

1919, Otto Mueller starts painting Zwei weibliche Halbakte. Then, from the art-covered walls of a Jewish lawyer's office, the painting invites readers to witness the 1929 crisis, the rise of Nazism, and the laws preventing its owner from working that would drive him to suicide. Later, the painting is seized by the Nazis and placed in an exhibition of degenerate art… Readers dive into the vertiginous experience of witnessing History through the point of view of a censored painting.
