Normandy 

Rudolf Bér created this 40 by 60 cm painting titled "Normandy" to capture the essence of this region. Bér, born in 1924, lived through some of the most tumultuous events of the 20th century, including World War II. The painting eschews traditional representation by capturing the rugged cliffs and serene coastline in a style that leans towards abstraction. This approach moves beyond the mere visual depiction of Normandy to an emotional or psychological landscape. The cliffs stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time and the ever-changing human experience. Consider the weight of history embedded in this landscape, a place marked by both natural beauty and human conflict. Bér invites us to contemplate our relationship with nature, and the ways in which landscapes bear the marks of human history and memory. "Normandy" reflects the artist's own search for meaning and connection.
