The life and art of Felix Nussbaum, the archi- tectural language of Daniel Libeskind, the photographs of Erieta Attali-three voices, three narratives, brought together in an im- pressive photo book. Photographer Erieta Attali has succeeded in capturing the various references inside and outside the Felix Nuss- baum House in Osnabrück, the complex inter- play of architecture, museum and exhibition spaces, and the paintings of German-Jewish painter Felix Nussbaum (1904-1944) presen- ted therein with her photographs. Attali's view is not documentary, but rather the subjective view of a visual poet who, in keeping with the subtitle of the publication, explores the re- sistance in both Nussbaum's paintings and Libeskind's architecture. The Felix Nussbaum House was Libeskind's first completed buil- ding in 1998, and with its provocative, uncon- ventional design, it continues to defy visitors' usual expectations of a museum building. This book is intended to arouse curiosity: about Nussbaum's paintings and life, about the buil- ding that bears his name. And, in keeping with the wishes of the museum's sponsors, it aims to keep his memory alive. The cover in the shape of an N is a reference to the name of the painter who was murdered in Auschwitz.
