Reviews for Anita Klein:
"It is nice to have a real humorist recruited to the ranks of gifted painters. She is to be congratulated on livening up our dreary lives." — Art Review
"Star of the show for me is the spare, knowing, subversive and comic work of a young painter called Anita Klein.”— Godfrey Smith, Sunday Times
“Celebrating oases of joy in the quotidian, Anita Klein builds a personal archive, brimming with charisma and wit, that can be identified with by everyone” — Britart.com
“There are no desperate attempts to shock, expose or outrage; simply poignant moments showing the things which you would most miss if they were taken away from you.” — Helen Smithson, Ham & High.
“A blithe demonstration of intimacy” — William Zimmer, New York Times
“At a time when the art world seems to be full of artists attempting to shock and denigrate, Klein’s intimate, life affirming work comes as a welcome breath of fresh air” — Vincent Eames, The Fine Art Partnership
“The pictures, which celebrate the small moments of life which often go
unappreciated, are warm, witty and quite delightful” — Julia Weiner, Jewish Chronicle
