In
, David Sobelman, an award-winning writer of documentaries, explores the early drawings of Canadian artist Claire Wilks, their presciently feminist visual vocabulary. He does so by looking at the drawings—so open in their sexuality, so puzzling in their vision of motherhood, so sensually affirming in their engagement with death in the Shoah camps—through the lens of that ancient figure Eros, as first discussed by Plato. This is a startling, original approach to a startling, original artist, the meta-portrait of a singular woman who expressed the world she saw around her with her hands.
