ART
An alternate reality
Last week the Museum of Fine Arts added the touching, real-life exhibit "Charlotte Salomon: Life? or Theatre?" to what has been a mostly van Gogh summer for the museum. Salomon's display of small paintings reveals the tragic story of her life in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. Her mastery of visual narrative tells a tale that words alone can't really describe. "Life? or Theatre?" is an unforgettable, alternative way to experience history.
