Farhi, a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors, has often focused on the human form, and J’Accuse…! marks a new focus — one that uses portraiture to depict the victims behind cases that have made legal and political history. Nicole Farhi said: “ This latest series, which explores miscarriages of justice, is the most personal and deeply felt of all. These are the men and women to whom irrevocable wrong was done. The only thing anyone can now do is look them in the eye, see them plain, and commit them to memory. Not forgetting them is the greatest service we can offer. ” Clare Gough, Director of Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, said: “ Nicole Farhi’s work focuses on the people behind the headlines whose lives have been shaped by injustice. Pitzhanger provides a space where visitors can reflect on these important stories. ” Exhibition Highlights Among the 25 busts included in J’Accuse…! are: • Alfred Dreyfus (France, 1859 – 1935) — The Jewish army officer whose trial became a symbol of anti-Semitic persecution. • Timothy Evans (UK, 1924 – 1950) — Wrongfully executed in 1950, leading to the abolition of capital punishment. • Andrew Malkinson (UK, b.1966) — Spent 17 years in prison before DNA evidence proved his innocence. • Lena Baker (USA, 1900 – 1945) — An African-American woman executed in 1945 and posthumously pardoned 60 years later. • Sakae Menda 免田栄 (Japan, 1925 – 2020) — The first person in Japan to be freed from death row after 12,599 days (34 years) in prison, on a wrongful conviction.
