of the valley in Hebrew(shoshana)and to the Indians a lotus flower,and reflects her appreciation of nature's bounty.Shesays of her work that \"you cannot give more than you have within yourself.But it is suffering thathelps you grow and develop,the struggle and conflict in life.Even the plants seem to struggle forlight and space..I believe in a greater spirit of nature,from which each person is a part,here to playhis role in life.\"Soshana has created her own fate and molded her life into one that merged realityand surrealism as in her paintings.She has traveled near and far constantly pushing herself to thelimits and searching for truth and the answers to life's struggles.  \nSoshana,born in Vienna in 1927 to a solid middle-class Jewish family as Susanne Schüller,wasconstantly subjected to traumatic events and instability.Due to Hitler's invasion in March 1938,she was forced to flee with her family and ended up in New York in 1941.During WWII,she stud-ied painting in London and New York and continued studying with the painter Beys Afroyim,whomshe married in 1945 and had one son,Amos.She and Afroyim painted many well known person-alities including Arnold Schoenberg,Thomas Mann,Franz Werfel,Leon Feuchtwanger,Hans Eisler,and Otto Klemperer.After her first major exhibition in Havanna in 1948,Soshana moved to Paris,the avant-garde art centre of the time and she distinguished herself among other artists includingPicasso and Giacometti(who both painted her),Brancusi,Chagall and Sartre,for her strong charis-ma,her eccentric appearance and her distinct style.Her work was exhibited in renowned galleriesand in 1953 she began to work with the well-known Swiss gallery owner Max Bollag.  \nHer travels took her to Israel in the 50s;India and the Far East in 1956;China and Japan,where shestudied abstract art and calligraphy as well as Eastern philosophy and religion.She then travelledto South America and Africa in1958-1959,where,among others,she met Dr.Albert Schweitzer.After staying in Mexico for a while,Soshana returned to Paris where she worked in Gauguin's formerstudio.When the modern art scene relocated to New York,Soshana did so also(1974),after severalvisits to Israel.In New York,she became close with Adolph Gottlieb and other abstract expression-ists.Since 1985,Soshana has been living in Vienna where she continues to paint.  \nKnown sometimes as \"Cassandra of the canvas,\"her melancholic introverted nature together witha passionate temperament enabled her to create a large body of work documenting a variety ofartistic styles reflecting movements and world events.After the change in style from figurative toabstract in the post World War I","cbCaifh8GWVBV9Bk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifh8GWVBV9Bk","pdf",3625768,68,"English","# Soshana -Life and
