Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger

Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger is a Franco-Israeli artist, writer, psychoanalyst and philosopher based in France. Born in Mandate Palestine on 23 March 1948, she lives and works in Paris. Her work, deeply marked by the personal history of her parents, survivors of the Shoah, is part of a century in which modern painting developed in response to individual and collective tragedies. Drawing on both her family heritage and the history of art, she explores notions of generational transmission, trauma, collective memory and amnesia. The originator of the concept of matrix space, she was exhibited at the Centre Pompidou in 2024. Several of her works have been included in the permanent collections. This catalogue brings together all the works in the exhibition, views of installations, and photographs from her personal notebooks, providing a comprehensive overview of Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger’s various projects with the Centre Pompidou over nearly forty years.
