Cornelia Foss presents her late-career “Little Reds” series, drawing on Little Red Riding Hood to process childhood trauma from fleeing Nazi Germany. Departing from her bright landscapes and still lifes, these dark, moody paintings depict forests where a girl confronts or escapes a lurking wolf, embodying fear, vulnerability, and courage. Foss transforms personal history into haunting, emotionally charged compositions that confront innocence lost and survival under threat.
