In 1967 Romanian born Canadian artist Sorel Etrog (1933 – 2014), was at the height of his career. It was at this time, just as he reached the pinnacle by representing Canada at the prestigious 33rd Venice Biennale (1966) and his future seemed limitless, that he was involved in a serious car accident. During the long period of recovery that followed, Etrog slipped into a deep depression that brought back the horrors of his childhood in Romania during World War II.
