A veteran of World War II, Goodnough was one of the last of the original generation of the New York School; (although he has been referred to as a member of the \"second generation\" of Abstract Expressionists), even though he began exhibiting his work in galleries in New York City in the early 1950s. Robert Goodnough was among the 24 artists who were included in the famous 9th Street Art Exhibition, (1951) and in all the following New York Painting and Sculpture Annuals from 1953 to 1957.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly in his career starting in 1950 he showed his paintings at the Wittenborn Gallery, NYC. He had shown at the Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn later years his paintings were also associated with the Color Field movement. After the war in 1946 he attended the Ozenfant School of Fine Arts in New York and the Hans Hofmann summer school in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He earned his master's degree from New York University in 1950 after which he began to exhibit his paintings publicly and also to write articles for ARTnews magazine. In 1992 he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member, and became a full Academician in 1994. Goodnough’s 1950 research paper, paper constitutes the first scholarly work on the artists who became known as the Abstract Expressionists and includes interviews with William Baziotes, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Elaine de Kooning’s recommendation, he wrote art reviews and feature articles for ARTnews from 1950 to 1957. His first one-person exhibition took place in 1950 followed by solo exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago (1960 and ’61); the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Albright-Knox Art Museum (1969); and the Neuberger Museum of Art (1999). His work was shown in major group exhibitions, including The Art of Assemblage, MoMA (1961– 62) and the 1970 Venice Biennale, and it is in the collections of major museums, including MoMA; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; the Smithsonian American Art Museum; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Chrysler Museum. Over the years, Goodnough’s work has been represented by galleries including Tibor de Nagy Gallery (NYC); André Emmerich Gallery (NYC); Harcus Krakow Gallery (Boston), Katharina Rich Perlow Gallery (NYC), and Margot Stein Gallery (Lake Worth, FL).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51628211568938,"sku":"a_12850672S1","price":4200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/4021\/3802\/files\/a_12850672_datamatics.jpg?v=1780507223"},{"product_id":"1940s-israeli-modernist-oil-painting-marine-harbor-landscape-bezalel-school","title":"1940s Israeli Modernist Oil Painting Marine Harbor Landscape Bezalel School","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H: 31.75, W: 38.0 IN\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeascape with mountain and boats in harbour. it is signed in hebrew and English. it is not dated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMORDECHAI AVNIEL Minsk, Belarus, b. 1900, d. 1989 Mordecai Dickstein (later Avniel) was born in 1900 in Minsk, present-day Belarus. He studied fine arts in Yekaterinburg, Russia (1913–19) and at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (1923). Avniel immigrated to Palestine in 1921 where he first worked as a pioneer in citrus plantations near Petah Tikva. In 1923, at the urging of Boris Schatz, he went to Jerusalem to further his art studies at Bezalel. He later taught painting and sculpture at the school, and served a term as director of the Small Sculpture Section of the Sculpture Department (1924–28). From 1935 on, Avniel lived in Haifa. Avniel was also a lawyer and a founding partner of the Haifa firm Avniel, Salomon \u0026amp; Company. Avniel regularly showed his work in group exhibitions of the Painters and Sculptors' Association of Israel. He was awarded the Herman Struck Prize (1952), Tenth Anniversary Prize for Watercolours, Ramat Gan (1958), Histadrut Prize (1961), and First Prize Haifa Municipality (1977). He represented Israel at the 1958 Venice Biennale and the 1962 International Art Seminar at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

American sculptor King is most noted for his long-limbed figurative public art sculptures depicting people engaged in everyday activities such as reading or conversing. He created his busts and figures in a variety of materials, including clay, wood, metal, and textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Dickey King was born in Jacksonville, Florida. As a boy, William made model airplanes and helped his father and older brother build furniture and boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe came to New York, where he attended the Cooper Union and began selling his early sculptures even before he graduated. He later studied with the sculptor Milton Hebald and traveled to Italy on a Fulbright grant. Mr. King worked in clay, wood, bronze, vinyl, burlap and aluminum. He worked both big and small, from busts and toylike figures to large public art pieces depicting familiar human poses — a seated, cross-legged man reading; a Western couple (he in a cowboy hat, she in a long dress) holding hands; a tall man reaching down to tug along a recalcitrant little boy; a crowd of robotic-looking men walking in lock step. Mr. King’s work often reflected the times, taking on fashions and occasional politics. In the 1960s and 1970s, his work featuring African-American figures (including the activist Angela Davis, with hands cuffed behind her back) evoked his interest in civil rights. But for all its variation, what unified his work was a wry observer’s arched eyebrow, the pointed humor and witty rue of a fatalist. His figurative sculptures, often with long, spidery legs and an outlandishly skewed ratio of torso to appendages, use gestures and posture to suggest attitude and illustrate his own amusement with the unwieldiness of human physical equipment. His subjects included tennis players and gymnasts, dancers and musicians, and he managed to show appreciation of their physical gifts and comic delight at their contortions and costumery. His suit-wearing businessmen often appeared haughty or pompous; his other men could seem timid or perplexed or awkward. Oddly, or perhaps tellingly, he tended to depict women more reverentially, though in his portrayals of couples the fragility and tender comedy inherent in couplehood settled equally on both partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis first solo exhibit took place in 1954 at the Alan Gallery in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKing was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2003, and in 2007 the International Sculpture Center honored him with the Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.

He left his native Poland for England in 1903 and settled in London’s East End, where he initially worked as a watchmaker. He was a founding member of the Ben Uri Society and a great supporter of Yiddish culture, holding an honorary office within Ben Uri from 1915–56 and always maintaining that its main goal should be to collect pictures and open a gallery. The collection in these years was influenced by his taste as he helped to fund and facilitate the acquisition of a number of important early works by artists including Simeon Solomon, Jacob Kramer, David Bomberg and Samuel Hirszenberg. Oved was a great character, who presided over Cameo Corner in Museum Street in flowing purple robes regaling his customers – among whom Queen Mary was a regular – with well-honed anecdotes – and building a reputation as a recognized authority on cameos, antique watches and clocks.

The Book of Affinity (1933) was a deluxe production with original colour lithographs by Epstein; Oved also presented two busts by Epstein, and to the Ben Uri, both in 1947. According to one story, it was while sheltering in the basement of Cameo Corner during the Blitz, that Oved first began modelling animal design rings to steady his trembling hands.

Mane-Katz moved to Paris at the age of 19 to study art, although his father wanted him to be a rabbi. During the First World War he returned to Russia, at first working and exhibiting in Petrograd; following the October revolution, he traveled back to Kremenchuk, where he taught art. In 1921, due to the ongoing fighting in his hometown during the civil war, he moved once again to Paris. There he became friends with Pablo Picasso and other important artists, and was affiliated with the art movement known as the School of Paris; together with other outstanding Jewish artists of that milieu, he is sometimes considered to be part of a group referred to specifically as the Jewish School of Paris.

Ecole de Paris In 1931, Mane-Katz's painting The Wailing Wall was awarded a gold medal at the Paris World's Fair. Early on, his style was classical and somber, but his palette changed in later years to bright, primary colors, with an emphasis on Jewish themes. His oils feature Hassidic characters, rabbis, Jewish musicians, beggars, yeshiva students and scenes from the East European shtetl. Mane-Katz made his first trip to Mandate Palestine in 1928, and thereafter visited the country annually. He said his actual home was Paris, but his spiritual home was Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel. Mane-Katz left his paintings and extensive personal collection of Jewish ritual art to the city of Haifa, Israel. Four years before his death, the mayor of Haifa, Abba Hushi, provided him with a building on Mt. Carmel to house his work, which became the Mane-Katz Museum. The exhibit includes Mane-Katz's oils, showing a progressive change in style over the years, a signed portrait of the artist by Picasso dated 1932 and a large collection of Jewish ritual objects. In 1953, Mane-Katz donated eight of his paintings to the Glicenstein Museum in Safed, whose artists quarter attracted leading Israeli artists in the 1950s and 1960s, and housed some of the country's most important galleries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51628241387818,"sku":"a_13119162S1","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/4021\/3802\/files\/mobilejpegupload_D666F8960691453B9D4CDF260DEFDAED_master_d55419e1-1d7e-40ed-bb93-3558c0e43f74.jpg?v=1780507487"},{"product_id":"beverly-pepper-large-bronze-wall-relief-plaque-heavily-textured-woman-artist","title":"Beverly Pepper Large Bronze Wall Relief Plaque Heavily Textured Woman Artist","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H: 20.0, W: 27.0 IN\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeverly Pepper is an American sculptor known for her monumental works, site specific and land art. She remains independent from any particular art movement. She was married to the writer Curtis Bill Pepper. Pepper was born Beverly Stoll on December 20, 1922, in Brooklyn, New York. At sixteen, she entered the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York to study advertising design, photography, and industrial design. She then embarked on a career as a commercial art director. She studied at Art Students' League and attended night classes at Brooklyn College, including art theory with György Kepes, who introduced her to the work of Lasló Moholy-Nagy and Man Ray. It was also at this time, in her mid twenties, that she met the environmental artist Frederick Kiesler. Drawn to post-war Europe in 1949, she studied painting in Paris at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. There she attended classes with cubist painter André L'Hôte, and with Fernand Léger at his atelier. She also visited the studios of Ossip Zadkine and Brâncuși. Pepper began her career as a painter, but after a trip to Angkor Wat, Cambodia in 1960, she was so awed by the temple ruins surviving beneath the jungle growth that she turned to sculpture. She made her debut in 1962 with an exhibit of carved tree trunks at a gallery in Rome. After several exhibitions in New York and Rome, she was one of ten artists invited by Giovanni Carandente, along with David Smith, Alexander Calder, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Lynn Chadwick, and Pietro Consagra, to fabricate works in Italsider factories in Italy for an outdoor exhibition, \"Sculture nella città\", held in Spoleto during the summer of 1962.

He graduated from the Academy of Arts in Warsaw, and became the pupil of Professor Adam Richtarsky. He later worked with a group of Jewish artists who wanted to resuscitate the ancient oriental-Jewish craft of hand-hammering metal (metaloplastics), which was passed on to us as a legacy by far-off generations from the time of the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1928 Arieh Merzer exhibited his works in Warsaw for the first time. From 1930 he lived and worked in Paris. He was one of the Jewish artists who gathered there and were known as the Jewish 'Ecole de Paris.' Merzer regularly exhibited in the well-known 'Salon d'Automne' and 'Salon des Tuileries,' as well as in solo exhibitions in Paris and throughout France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArieh Merzer's work was highly acclaimed well before the Holocaust, before it became a memorial to a world destroyed. He portrayed the story of the Jewish spirit on copper, on silver, and on gold: stories from the Bible, the life-styles of the Jews in their shtetls and ghettos, of Chassidim and Kabbalists of renown, of wars of liberation and revival. A special stress was placed on the link between the new Jewish experience and its historical nucleus. His major innovation was the moulding of mystic and traditional Jewish motifs, that surrounded the Holy Ark in Europe's burning synagogues, and presenting the results before the world of modern art. As a result he became generally recognized as an international Jewish artist. In 1943, when France was conquered by the Nazis, Arieh Merzer escaped from a concentration camp, and after a stint in the maquis, he crossed the border into Switzerland and was sent to a labor camp. Later, he arrived in Geneva, where an album of sketches of his works was put out. In 1945 he made aliyah to Israel with his family, settled in Safed, and helped to found the Artists' Quarter there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArieh Merzer lived and worked in Israel for twenty-one years. His exhibitions in the country include: 1946 in the Tel Aviv Museum; 1947 in the Pevsner Artists' Pavilion in Haifa; 1951 in the Artists' Pavilion in Tel Aviv; 1955 in the Museum for Modern Art in Haifa; 1955 in the Artists' Pavilion in Jerusalem; and 1957 in the Tel Aviv Museum. His works were also on permanent show in his atelier in Safed. He was awarded prizes, including: the Herman Struck prize in 1946; the Dizengoff prize in 1951 and then again in 1965; and the Mayor of Haifa's prize in 1954. His works appear in numerous museums and collections throughout the country and abroad. His heart stopped beating on the eve of Holocaust Day, 1966.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArieh Merzer, who was brought up in a Hassidic family, was drawn to the world of art from an early age; he was influenced by the moods and new ideals of the socialist circles and prepared himself to study art in the academy. On Passover eve , after clearing out the bread, while the rest of the household was busy preparing for the Holiday, a book fell from the bookcase and from out its pages flew dozens of sketches and drawings of nudes that the young Arieh had prepared for his folio for the entrance examinations to the academy. His sisters tore up the drawings with cries of treyfe treyfe (ritually non-kosher) and many months' hard work went down the drain. As a result of this, he left his home at the age of fifteen, and later joined a group of young artists who wanted to revive the ancient art of hand-hammered copper - metaloplastics - bequeathed to them by past generations who lived in Bible times. Thus did he part from his family - mother, father, thirteen brothers and sisters - who all perished in the Holocaust.

The Memphis group's work often incorporated plastic laminate and was characterized by ephemeral design featuring colorful and abstract decoration as well as asymmetrical shapes, sometimes arbitrarily alluding to exotic or earlier styles. They drew inspiration from such movements as Art Deco and Pop Art, including styles such as the 1950s Kitsch and futuristic themes.

He graduated from the Academy of Arts in Warsaw, and became the pupil of Professor Adam Richtarski. He later worked with a group of Jewish artists who wanted to resuscitate the ancient oriental-Jewish craft of hand-hammering metal (metaloplastica), which was passed on to us as a legacy by far-off generations from the time of the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1928 Aryeh Merzer exhibited his works in Warsaw for the first time. From 1930 he lived and worked in Paris. He was one of the Jewish artists who gathered there and were known as the Jewish 'Ecole de Paris.' Merzer regularly exhibited in the well-known 'Salon d'Automne' and 'Salon des Tuileries,' as well as in solo exhibitions in Paris and throughout France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArieh Merzer's work was highly acclaimed well before the Holocaust, before it became a memorial to a world destroyed. He portrayed the story of the Jewish spirit on copper, on silver, and on gold: stories from the Bible, the life-styles of the Jews in their shtetls and ghettos, of Chassidim and Kabbalists of renown, of wars of liberation and revival. A special stress was placed on the link between the new Jewish experience and its historical nucleus. His major innovation was the moulding of mystic and traditional Jewish motifs, that surrounded the Holy Ark in Europe's burning synagogues, and presenting the results before the world of modern art. As a result he became generally recognized as an international Jewish artist. In 1943, when France was conquered by the Nazis, Arieh Merzer escaped from a concentration camp, and after a stint in the maquis, he crossed the border into Switzerland and was sent to a labor camp. Later, he arrived in Geneva, where an album of sketches of his works was put out. In 1945 he made aliyah to Israel with his family, settled in Safed, and helped to found the Artists' Quarter there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArieh Merzer lived and worked in Israel for twenty-one years. His exhibitions in the country include: 1946 in the Tel Aviv Museum; 1947 in the Pevsner Artists' Pavilion in Haifa; 1951 in the Artists' Pavilion in Tel Aviv; 1955 in the Museum for Modern Art in Haifa; 1955 in the Artists' Pavilion in Jerusalem; and 1957 in the Tel Aviv Museum. His works were also on permanent show in his atelier in Safed. He was awarded prizes, including: the Herman Struck prize in 1946; the Dizengoff prize in 1951 and then again in 1965; and the Mayor of Haifa's prize in 1954. His works appear in numerous museums and collections throughout the country and abroad. His heart stopped beating on the eve of Holocaust Day, 1966.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArieh Merzer, who was brought up in a Hassidic family, was drawn to the world of art from an early age; he was influenced by the moods and new ideals of the socialist circles and prepared himself to study art in the academy. On Passover eve , after clearing out the bread, while the rest of the household was busy preparing for the Holiday, a book fell from the bookcase and from out its pages flew dozens of sketches and drawings of nudes that the young Arieh had prepared for his folio for the entrance examinations to the academy. His sisters tore up the drawings with cries of treyfe treyfe (ritually non-kosher) and many months' hard work went down the drain. As a result of this, he left his home at the age of fifteen, and later joined a group of young artists who wanted to revive the ancient art of hand-hammered copper - metaloplastics - bequeathed to them by past generations who lived in Bible times. Thus did he part from his family - mother, father, thirteen brothers and sisters - who all perished in the Holocaust. He alone survived, and made an oath that he would commemorate in copper all who had died.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with Shalom of Safed, Gabriel Cohen, David Sharir, Irene Awret, Natan Heber, Michael Falk and Kopel Gurwin.

His work was strongly influenced by Max Beckmann, is a late survival of the social com­mentary expressionism of the WPA era; His early lithograph works were intensely personal and reflected the influence of the Depression and the World Wars, but his palette lightened as he increasingly focused on families and the bonds between adults and children. He was contemporary of William Gropper and Ben Shahn. As the son of a blind father and hard-working mother who supported the family with a delicatessen. From early childhood, he had to earn a living and sold newspapers and ran errands for local businesses. He graduated from Fordham Law School, and at age 23 was admitted to the bar. In the mid-1930s, while practicing insurance as well as law, he began oil painting and printmaking with teachers including Yasuo Kuniyoshi and Sol Wilson. He gained quick recognition and between 1941 and 1980 participated in numerous exhibitions including the National Academy of Design, the Brooklyn Museum and the Worcester Art Institute. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Kleinholz graduated Fordham Law School in 1923. In the 1930s, he began studying painting under Yasuo Kuniyoshi and Sol Wilson. He quickly rose to prominence with the inclusion of Abstract art in the Carnegie Institute exhibition of 1941. His painting Backstreet won a purchase prize by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Chronology His strongest influences were American Social Realists Reginald Marsh and Philip Evergood, the German Expressionists George Grosz and Kathe Kollwitz, the Mexican muralists Diego Rivera, Jorge Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros, and the early 20th century Paris Modernists. Described by Newsweek as a \"Brooklyn-born Gauguin,\" Kleinholz focused on urban life in New York, Brooklyn and Coney Island, as well as intimate, social realist scenes of parents and children, watercolor paintings of flowers and birds, and sunbathers. His political works include anti war paintings as well as depictions of peace demonstrations.

It was her strongly held belief that art can touch the spirit of many more people than those whose art experiences are limited to the halls and walls of museums and galleries. Her bold and richly hued art works executed in a wide variety of media, such as tapestry, glass, metal wood and clay have been installed in universities, corporations, medical facilities, cruise ships, hotels, religious spaces, community and civic centers and even in a train station. Over the years many architects and interior designers have collaborated with Helen Webber finding that her work enhanced their designed environments, giving her the opportunity to create art for well known corporations as well as multitudes of residences. It is the tapestries that she is best known for, and it is this medium that dominates the largest body of her work, which was first introduced to the design world in the mid 1970's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tapestries utilize a fabric collage technique combining an array of designer upholstery fabrics such as velvets, brocades, worsteds, jacquards, mohair, hand woven woolens, among many others. Yarns of all kinds are integrated into the tapestries surrounding the edges of each fabric piece. Some clients, who saw that Webber’s particular art style could be expressed in a variety of media, offered her commissions in stained and etched glass, wood collage, sculpted tile, cast stone, and painted metal. Some of the work in these media are initially fabricated in other artisan’s studio under Helen’s supervision, and brought to her studio for final finishing work. However the tapestries, clay tiles, and stone castings have been completely fabricated in Helen’s studio. A body of work in painting and drawings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ereveals Helen Webber’s penchant for combining words with her visuals.

She gave lectures and talks from California to Paris, and has been an instructor at the California College of the Arts, as well as Hussian Art College in Philadelphia.

His inspiration filled drawings caught the eye of his teachers and with there encouragement he entered a national competition in which he won first place. This lead to him winning a full scholarship at the art faculty in Zamalek and at the Cairo University. Full of hopes and dreams he began his studies, only to be interrupted after one year. The Israeli war of independence began and subsequently the pogroms, and the urgent need of Egyptian Jews to emigrate, going first to France and than to Israel. Victor’s first years in Israel were years of struggle for survival, but simultaneously years of activity and progress. In 1950, while serving in the army, Victor met Margalit, the women at his side, mother of his children and the most present character in his career of activity and art. With Margalit’s encouragement and support he not only raised a family, fathering two boys and a girl, but also fulfilled his dream and was fortunate to have a full and inspiring career- as a person, artist, and teacher.

Modernism magazine interviewed Jerry Fels shortly before his death in October 2008.

Freiler was the production chief and Fels was head of design. Prior to the establishment of Artisan House, the partners built a costume jewelry business, selling work under the names Renoir and Matisse. Kurt and Jerry sold Artisan House in 1972.

He goes on to say that after launching in 1964 Jere sculptures were \"distributed by Raymor, a cutting edge studio in New York City, and retailed at Gump's in San Francisco and other high quality emporiums\".

Jews were herded into a ghetto, where they remained for several weeks. Magda began making dolls while being held in the concentration camp at Auschwitz, Poland in 1944. Her creativity and imagination helped her to survive the horrors of the holocaust and led to an inspirational career in art and visual storytelling. A resident of Eilat, Israel, she is an internationally known artist. Her intricate soft fabric and textile dolls and panoramas bring the people of the shtetl back to life. She has recreated part of the Jewish community of her native Hungary in order that it might never be forgotten. A documentary was made on her life, “Liberation of the Spirit: The Journey of Magda Watts”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe film opens with a close-up of Watts' hands. She is shaping a doll head, pressing creases with a wooden tool into pliable sculpting resin that later will be hardened by baking. With a few nicks and strokes, human features begin to emerge from the shapeless lump. \"I don't know why I am making old people,\" she says. \"It is coming out from me. I can't order my hand what to do.\" She calls her dolls \"small human beings. When you see them in half-dark, you see them dancing, speaking, like they are in life.\" She makes the dolls in batches of body parts, and also makes most of the props that go with them: miniature furniture, musical instruments, tiny leather shoes with wax soles, even treadle sewing machines. Watts survived the Auschwitz death factory, then the labor camp at Nuremberg. It was there that she created the ancestors of the folk-art masterpieces she now crafts, such artful and appealing rag dolls that Nazi guards would swap extra bread for them. That, she says, \"was life\" for her and her sister Shari, enough to keep them alive. The doll scene is typical of her work: lifelike yet cartoonish figures set in evocative tableaux. She makes them in her workshop in Israel. Starting at $1,500, Watts' soft dolls are sold only in Israel, but collected worldwide. She once made a panorama of the Jewish people's 5,000-year history for an Israel museum, and a violinist doll for concert great Isaac Stern. The dolls are tailors, jewelers, klezmer musicians, seamstresses, musicians, students, rabbis, a cast of characters from the shtetl of a bygone Europe and from small corners of the modern Jewish world. Like Frank Meisler but in fabric and cloth. They laugh and brood, gossip and smoke, fiddle and play cards. Infused, as if by some spiritual alchemy, with the full range of human emotion, they furrow their aging brows in worry and concentration. Soulful eyes gaze both outward and inward. Here and there, figures from her life emerge. \"When I make the seamstress, I am thinking of my aunt. She had a little bit of a hunchback. She had a Singer machine and many drawers, with every one something beautiful inside.\" A careful observer can spot visual jokes in her work. \"I'm making the Bible, and (a museum panorama character) is sitting on the camel with a cigarette in his hand. Nobody sees it, but I know it. I made it for myself. I have to make something that makes me laugh.\" From oven-baked clay and Styrofoam, she’s re-creating her past: rabbis, gossipy ladies, peddlers, jewelers, tailors, old couples and fish vendors from her small village in central Hungary. Nearly all perished during the Holocaust. Most were sent to the gas chambers in 1944 when Nazis overran her country, including some in Watts’ family. Her lifelike creations have been displayed – and sold – around the world. Her creations emerge from the back of her memory. She remembers a gentler Hungary, where Jewish communities thrived before the Nazis came. On one doll’s baked clay face, she paints the knotted frown of a rabbi concentrating on a Torah passage. Another doll grows into a man hawking fish. Women play cards. A stern schoolmaster presides over a class. “They love to love,” she says. She has exhibited with Malcah Zeldis. Her naive, whimsical images contain a number of storytelling devices and attempt to convey a narrative. She is also fond of Mea Shearim street themes. Israel, and the larger Jewish world, have had a Vibrant Folk Art, Naive art scene for a long time now, artists like Yisrael Paldi, Nahum Guttman, Reuven Rubin and even Yefim Ladyzhensky had naive periods.

PETER KRASNOW (1886-1979), Russian-Ukrainian, American artist painter and sculptor, born Feivish Reisberg, was a California modernist and colorist artist known for his abstract wood sculptures and architectonic hard-edge paintings and drawings which were often based on Hebrew calligraphy and other subjects related to his Jewish heritage. Krasnow lived in Los Angeles for most of his life. Born in Novohrad-Volynskyi, Zawill, Ukraine, Krasnow immigrated to the United States in 1907, apprenticing with his father who was an interior decorator. He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago graduating in 1916. While in New York exhibiting at the Whitney Club, he met photographer Edward Weston and began a lifelong friendship. Krasnow and his wife Rose drove cross-country in 1922 to settle in Los Angeles, where he quickly became part of a small but active art community. His notable peers included Weston, fellow artists Henrietta Shore, Stanton Macdonald-Wright, Lorser Feitelson, and Helen Lundeberg, and architects Rudolph Schindler and Richard Neutra. Other avant garde artists in Krasnow’s circle included Nick Brigante and Boris Deutsch. Krasnow’s early works, largely realist portraits and symbolic carved sculptures, are accomplished examples of social realism and Art Deco. In 1934, after a three-year stay in France, he spent the next decade carving abstract wood sculptures. By the mid-1940s he had returned to his easel, creating architectonic hard-edge paintings and drawings. His mature works dating from the 1950s through the 1970s were often abstract paintings based on Hebrew calligraphy and other subjects related to his Jewish heritage. His “Demountables” of the 1930s and 40s—hand-carved wood sculptures assembled from interlocking component parts—are organic abstractions drawing on traditions of folk and tribal art. His abstract paintings, whose bright, synthetic colors he chose to contrast with the dark political realities of the 1940s, are schematic tableaux that employ calligraphic symbols referencing spiritual ideas and organic processes. In both sculpture and painting, Krasnow developed styles that have surprising contemporary currency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelect Notable Exhibits: 1974 Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, California: Nine Senior Southern California Painters - Peter Krasnow, Nicholas Brigante, Lorser Feitelson, John McLaughlin, Florence Arnold, Helen Lundeberg, Emerson Woelffer, Han Burkhardt.

In 1972 he had his first solo exhibition, at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London, to which he returned three years later to present his sculptures: lifesize polychrome figures with a “realistic” appearance (fitted with fibreglass eyes and wearing outdoor or work clothes and shoes), generally arranged in pairs or groups, accompanied by a series of large heads with masks and other items that distorted their features. The dramatic theatrical effect of the installation surprised the public and the London critics, who discovered the work of a realistic figurative sculptor who kept his distance from the abstract modes that predominated in British sculpture at the time. His first works were inspired by Surrealism. In the early 1970´s he moved to a more realist style. He also worked in painting and drawing. During the eighties his work gradually abandoned the more or less illusionist references to reality and he began to paint his sculptures grey, avoiding giving them a “natural” appearance and even incorporating drawing in them. During this period he worked on several series of small or life-size sculptures, showing self absorbed nude figures climbing ropes or steps or hanging on trapezes as if they were circus acrobats. Among his best known works are the series of heads made in the eighties and nineties on various scales, from life-size and polychromed painted small items to cyclopean heads of more than 2 meters high. This series reveals how Davies handles the scale and texture devices with technical ease. His work can be related to other contemporary figurative painters and sculptors who deal with the representation of man Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Alberto Giacometti, Edward Kienholz, George Segal, Duane Hanson and in a closer context\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto Antonio López, among others- Davies still has a singular place in the British sculpture because of his personal vision of the human representation.

In 1970 he won a Sainsbury Award, and his sculptures and drawings have been included in numerous group exhibitions in Europe and the United States.

Eugenie Gershoy was born in Krivoy Rog, Russia (Krivoi Rog, Ukraine) and emigrated to New York City in the United States as a child in 1903. Considered somewhat of a child prodigy, Gershoy was copying Old Master drawings at the age of 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer interest and talent in art was encouraged from a very young age. Aided by scholarships, she studied at the Art Students League under Alexander Stirling Calder, Leo Lentelli, Kenneth Hayes Miller, and Boardman Robinson. Around this time, she created a group of portrait figurines of her fellow artists, including Arnold Blanch, Lucile Blanch, Raphael Soyer, William Zorach, Concetta Scaravaglione, and Emil Ganso, which were exhibited as a group at the Whitney Museum of American Art. At age 17, she was awarded the Saint-Gaudens Medal for fine draughtsmanship. Early in her career she became an active member of the Woodstock art colony. In Woodstock she experimented by sculpting in the profusion of indigenous materials that she found. Working with fieldstone, oak and chestnut, Gershoy created works based on classic formulae. As she became more interested in the dynamism of everyday life, she found that these materials and her idiom were too restrictive. By the time Gershoy came to Woodstock in 1921 her own individual artistic style was already evident in her sculptures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEugenie Gershoy worked in stone, bronze, terracotta, plaster and papier-mache.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGershoy’s sculptures were mainly figurative in nature and many of her artist peers such as Carl Walters, Raphael and Moses Soyer, William Zorach and Lucille Blanch, became her subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEugenie Gershoy’s works on paper should not be overlooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe was the winner of the Gaudens Medal for Fine Draughtsmanship at the tender age of 17.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGershoy married Jewish Romanian-born artist Harry Gottlieb. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the pair kept a studio in Woodstock, New York. There, Gershoy was influenced by sculptor John Flanagan, who lived and worked nearby. From 1936 to 1939, Gershoy worked for the WPA Federal Art Project. She collaborated with Max Spivak on murals for the children's recreation room of the Queens Borough Public Library in Astoria, New York. She developed a mixture of wheat paste, plaster, and egg tempera, which she used in polychrome papier-mâché sculptures; she was the only New York sculptor to work in polychrome at this time. She also designed cement and mosaic sculptures of animals and figures to be placed in New York City playgrounds. Alongside others employed by the FAP, she participated in a sit-down strike in Washington, DC, to advocate for better pay and improved working conditions for the projects' artists. Gershoy's first solo exhibition was held at the Robinson Gallery in New York in 1940. She moved to San Francisco in 1942, and began teaching ceramics at the California School of Fine Arts in 1946. In 1950, she studied at the artists' colony at Yaddo. Gershoy traveled extensively throughout her life. She visited England and France in the early 1930s, and worked in Paris in 1951. She traveled to Mexico and Guatemala in the late 1940s, and also toured Africa, India, and the Orient in 1955. In 1977, Gershoy dedicated a sculpture to Audrey McMahon, who was actively involved in the creation of the Federal Art Project and served as its regional director in New York, in recognition of the work McMahon provided struggling artists in the 1930s. Gershoy's work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

In 1940 he began his studies at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, and from 1942 was a student of sculptor Ze’ev Ben-Zvi. For a period of time, Palombo was an assistant at Ben-Zvi’s studio and also taught at Bezalel. During this period he was also a member of the “Histadrut HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed” (The General Federation of Students and Young Workers in Israel). In the 1940s he took art lessons at night. In 1948 he went to Paris, where he visited the studio of the sculptor Constantin Brancusi whose work influenced him. Around 1958 he married the artist Shulamit Sirota. In 1960 he quit his job to devote himself to art. In 1964 he married for the second time to the artist Yona Palombo. The two of them went to live in an abandoned home on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. In 1966 he was killed when the motorcycle on which he was riding ran into a chain stretched across the street to prevent the desecration of Shabbat. His widow opened a museum in their home that was active until the year 2000. Work by Palombo is included in the Judaic collection of the Jewish Museum (a well known Hanukkah menorah). Palombo executed the impressive metal gates of the Tent of Remembrance at the Yad Vashem, the memorial to the martyrs of the holocaust, as well as the gates to the Knesset Building the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco award) awarded him a scholarship for study in Japan. He worked in marble, granite, bronze, iron and steel. as well as with glass mosaic tiles. Palombo’s early works, in the 1950s, were influenced by modernist sculptors such as Brancusi. These works were composed of abstract images from nature and were carved out of stone or wood. At the end of the 1950s he began making metal sculptors, using the technique of welding.

The process is symptomatic of the way Nama works. He has created over one-hundred sketchbooks, always found objects, sown together, others patched with old gold embossed book covers, or bound with bits of fabric. Nama collected books and made books all his adult life, beginning in 1966, in Paris, France, when he made a book about the Métro, stitched together by himself. He enjoys the intimacy of working with his hands on something he can carry around. He does not transform a preconceived idea or emotion into an image, but he starts with something that is already there. His given object can be a book with blank pages or, for instance, a collection of Voluntaries and Interludes for the Melodeon. It has to be an old book, though, and it should not be precious. Time and wear remove the book from its original usefulness, thus the artist can appropriate the pages for himself, turning them into something new. The flow of a handwriting, a fragment of a headline, a name can anchor a stream of images that have been sparked off by reading, re-reading and contemplating a poem. The drawings in turn trigger further creations of sculptures or etchings. Nama claims that all his images, whether painting, drawing, etching, or sculpture, are figurative. If they don’t show something that really exists, his configurations “might exist”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Nama was born in Homestead, across the river from Pittsburgh, which in the early 1950s had its creative moment with a vibrant jazz scene and the Carnegie International exhibitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe studied at Carnegie Mellon University. n the 1960's Nama worked with William Stanley Hayter at the Atelier 17 in Paris.

He has also been included in the distinguished international art fairs at Maastricht and the Salon de Dessin in Paris.

His most important contributions to the history of art were in his alliance with Fauvism from 1906, and the role he played in the development of Cubism. Braque’s work between 1908 and 1912 is closely associated with that of his colleague Pablo Picasso. He grew up in Le Havre and trained to be a house painter and decorator like his father and grandfather. However, he also studied artistic painting during evenings at the École des Beaux-Arts, in Le Havre, from about 1897 to 1899. In Paris, he apprenticed with a decorator and was awarded his certificate in 1902. The next year, he attended the Académie Humbert, also in Paris, and painted there until 1904. It was here that he met Marie Laurencin and Francis Picabia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBraque's earliest works were impressionistic, but after seeing the work exhibited by the artistic group known as the \"Fauves\" (Beasts) in 1905, he adopted a Fauvist style. The Fauves, a group that included Henri Matisse and André Derain among others, used brilliant colors to represent emotional response. Braque worked most closely with the artists Raoul Dufy and Othon Friesz, who shared Braque's hometown of Le Havre, to develop a somewhat more subdued Fauvist style. In 1906, Braque traveled with Friesz to L'Estaque, to Antwerp, and home to Le Havre to paint. In May 1907, he successfully exhibited works of the Fauve style in the Salon des Indépendants. The same year, Braque's style began a slow evolution as he became influenced by Paul Cézanne who had died in 1906 and whose works were exhibited in Paris for the first time in a large-scale, museum-like retrospective in September 1907. The 1907 Cézanne retrospective at the Salon d'Automne greatly affected the avant-garde artists of Paris, resulting in the advent of Cubism. Beginning in 1909, Braque began to work closely with Pablo Picasso who had been developing a similar proto-Cubist style of painting. At the time, Pablo Picasso was influenced by Gauguin, Cézanne, African masks and Iberian sculpture while Braque was interested mainly in developing Paul Cézanne's ideas of multiple perspectives. During his recovery he became a close friend of the Cubist artist Juan Gris. He continued to work during the remainder of his life, producing a considerable number of paintings, graphics, and sculptures. Braque, along with Matisse, is credited for introducing Pablo Picasso to Fernand Mourlot, and most of the lithographs and book illustrations he himself created during the 1940s and '50s were produced at the Mourlot Studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBraque died on 31 August 1963 in Paris. He is buried in the cemetery of the Church of St. Valery in Varengeville-sur-Mer, Normandy whose windows he designed. Braque's work is in most major museums throughout the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn 20 May 2010, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris reported the overnight theft of five paintings from its collection.

A window had been smashed and CCTV footage showed a masked man taking the paintings. Authorities believe the thief acted alone. The man carefully removed the paintings from their frames, which he left behind. This is similar to the suite \"Hommage aux bijoux de Braque\" by Heger de Lowenfeld. Created to commemorate a series of Braque Jewelry, which were created in gold with enamel by the same atelier that made these embossed prints.

His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson, Mississippi. Ceroli is one of the most influential artists of the Italian post-war period. Ceroli moved to Rome at the age of ten where he later graduated from 'Accademia delle Belle Arti'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the Art Institute he worked under the guidance of Leoncillo Leonardi, Pericle Fazzini and Ettore Colla, where he experimented with the use of ceramic. In 1958, he first exhibited these works at the Premium Spoleto. In the same year Ceroli held his first solo exhibition at Galleria San Sebastianello of Rome. During 1959 he began to experiment with new materials, particularly with raw wood, such as Russian pinewood. He used these materials to create silhouetted shapes in his furniture and objects that related simplistically to the surrounding space. In the 1960's Ceroli took part in exhibitions related to the \"Arte de Povera\" group. He had also been involved as screenplay director collaborating with \"II Teatro Stabile\" in Turin and with \"La Scala\" In Milan. He was part of the generation of Italian post war artists that included Aligliero Boetti, Lucio Fontana, Alberto Burri, Pino Pascali, Piero Manzoni, Enrico Castellani, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Mimmo Rotella, Emilio Vedova. One of Ceroli's major works was his 'Mobili nella Valle' series, inspired directly by the Giorgio De Chirico 1927 painting of the same name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of his sculptures is on the Luigi Einaudi campus of the University of Turin, and another one is at the Vatican Museums. In the early 1970s, he had a relationship with the Italian television and film actress Daria Nicolodi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArt Institute. Ceroli's work is sculpture, painting, drawing, creation of objects, environments and scenography. Ceroli is a multifaceted, versatile artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis sculpture is construction rather than moulding, the forms are tangible concepts and never abstractions, they are almost always simple, objective, concrete ideas. In the use of bronze, the resulting idea is of a series of stratifications, of consequential planes, which do not give the work that character of plastic uniformity, even within the context of a harmonious and syntonic work. Not just a sculptor of materials, Ceroli seems more interested in creating spaces, environments, majestic scenography: in 1965 he began working on Cassa Sistina , a space that contains all objects: everything is transportable, marketable. Irony and mystification of reality make it an exceptional work of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCassa Sistina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eearned him the Gollin Prize. 1966 was a decisive year: Ceroli exhibited at the La Tartaruga Gallery in Rome, among his various works,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Last Supper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecreated a year earlier, and today preserved at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome. From September 1966 to June 1967 Ceroli moved to the United States and in April held a solo exhibition at the Bonino Gallery in New York, where he exhibited Farfalle . Another great masterpiece of those years is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChina, from 1966, one of the first works in the history of immersive and all-encompassing art, which gave the viewer the impression of almost being part of it. Spectacularity, plastic spaces, majestic works: in 1969 Ceroli created Io, piramide di ice: a pyramid of ice bricks at the top of which hangs a steel sphere containing burning coal. The 1980s marked the search for the theme of \"everything in the round\", of spherical materiality, with works that represent a constant dialogue with the environment: La Porta (1981) , Il Cenacolo (1981) , Uomo Vitruviano (1987) date back to these years ), House of Neptune (1988), Mistral (1992), Applause (1992). The 2000s saw Ceroli engaged in a continuous mix of natural elements, wood and ash, wood, ash and gold foil. Works such as The Naked Truth, Guerriero Frentano are from 2007 : human figures carved in wood and sprinkled with ash, symbolizing the human being who merges with nature. 2007 is also the year that sees the creation of the majestic work Paolo e Francesca, with the reappearance of the theme of the staircase: human figures stand out on a staircase, with piles of colorful colors at their feet. In the 1960s, he was already considered one of the great masters of Italian Pop Art and Arte Povera. Ceroli’s production features natural and humble materials, particularly untreated wood, but also fabric, plastic or aluminium. His creations, which are sometimes polychrome and serialized, represent common objects, such as numbers, letters of the alphabet, human figures, and allusions to Leonardo da Vinci and other masters of the Italian Renaissance.
