This delightful production is a
profile of the inspirational ninety-four year-old artist Tibor Jankay.
Born in Hungary, Jankay studied art at the finest schools in Budapest
and Paris until World War II, when he was sent to a work camp. Escaping
from a train traveling to Auschwitz, Jankay used his artistic talents
to ward off hunger during his time as a fugitive. Despite the terrible
trials, he was willing to start life anew. Settling in Venice, California,
he painted joyful images celebrating life and hope. Running through his
story line is the abiding love Jankay shares with his wife, with whom
he was miraculously reunited after the war. After her death, he began
to mentor emerging and established artists in the community, inspiring
them with his stories of survival. His home is filled with paintings and
sculptures that portray images of love and beauty. This remarkable man
comments on his life, joys and philosophy of forgiveness.
