This portrait of Anne Frank is based on a renowned photograph of the young Holocaust victim who gained international fame following the publication of the diary she kept during World War II. Shown in full youth awaiting a life of promise, Mayerson's image suggests the symbolic value Frank's life has assumed since the war, suggesting resilience against racism, violence, and the Holocaust. Mayerson belongs to a relatively young generation of painters whose work is representational and painted in a traditional style.
