Gottfried Helnwein is one of the most accomplished realist of the day and it is a blessing that he's found his way to San Francisco. From May 7th to June 29th 2009 the San Francisco Modernism Gallery will be exhibiting the Helnwein one man show “The Murmur of Innocence" in honor of Francisco de Goya.The theme of the exhibition, the suffering of children in war time, will be familiar to fan's of Helnwein's work and this exhibition will likely be an articulation of the machines of war, with a raw Nordic sensibility that draws the witnesses of his work to reach back into themselves and delve into whatever tenuous memories of world conflict and violence haunt them. His work acknowledges the universal heritage of globalized conflicts shared by every person on every continent.
