In her most recent set of paintings, Austrian artist Martha Jungwirth (born 1940) takes as her inspiration Joseph Conrad’s 1899 novella Heart of Darkness, a harrowing examination of European colonialism. Her forceful yet restrained compositions evoke both the brutality of bygone empires and the struggle of contemporary migrants.

Panta Rhei presents works by Austrian painter Martha Jungwirth (born 1940) from the 1970s to the present, with a focus on her watercolors. The translated title of this volume, “Everything Flows,” alludes to Jungwirth’s gestural watercolors in which she applies layers of soft, transparent color in large stains, smears or patterned lines.
