Through chance, they said, they'd found Edith's studio, boarded up and untouched for decades, exactly the way she’d left it: filled with sculptures in bronze and clay; oil paintings; letters; and forty years of diaries.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Studio \u003c\/i\u003etells of Karen's attempt to recover Edith's life's work, told alongside the story of that life. Edith, born in a Jewish family in what is now the Czech Republic in the 1930s, spent her childhood as a war refugee in England and her adulthood moving between London, Tel Aviv, and finally Paris, where she settled in her thirties to study art. When she reached her early forties, after years of struggle, she was on the precipice of true fame and also the mother of an infant with her estranged husband, Robert. Until one night, all of it was taken away from her.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Through Edith's evocative, meticulously-kept diaries, Karen tells the story of this singular woman against the backdrop of 20th-century Europe. An unforgettable journey—through postwar Germany, the nascent state of Israel, communist Prague, and Paris in the bohemian sixties—\u003ci\u003eThe Lost Studio \u003c\/i\u003ebrings the work of this extraordinary artist, and the tragedy of her death, vividly to life.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48700905521407,"sku":"9781668209974","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781668209974_s600x595.jpg?v=1781632038","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781668209974","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
