The life of the Jewish artist Felix Nussbaum was marked by persecution and flight. In 1933, Nussbaum and his partner Felka Platek were already abroad when he was awarded the prestigious Villa Massimo scholarship for a period of study in Rome. From there, they fled via France to Belgium. There, between 1939 and 1944, he secretly created a powerful late body of work.
