...death of her daughter Santillana. "After the Death of a Child" (1927-28) is an especially haunting watercolor: children dressed in red and blue appear on a playground, fenced off from the adults in the black and gray street who have been reduced to figures out of Munch's "Scream"-both elongated and hunched with hollow eyes.
