The Art of Israel

THE ART OF ISRAEL surveys the history of the land through art objects. It begins with the building of King Solomon’s Temple and continues with the Jewish catacombs, the synagogue mosaics, and the establishment of the modern State of Israel. This program follows the sweep of Israeli history while focusing on the visual arts and artists of recent centuries. THE ART OF ISRAEL highlights this most important country and its artworks.

THE READER (THE ARTIST’S WIFE)

Human Figure and Jewish Culture:

Pre-Enlightenment and Beyond

THE HUMAN FIGURE and JEWISH CULTURE begins with the Second Commandment and its interpretations. It then surveys the varied artworks and aesthetic styles of depicting human forms from the earliest known images in a Jewish setting (3^rd c., CE) through contemporary times.

This program starts with wall paintings, illuminated manuscripts, gravestone reliefs, and moves to etchings, sculpture and paintings in many varied approaches.

THE HUMAN FIGURE and JEWISH CULTURE highlights human figures in Jewish settings from different places and at different times. It is a mesmerizing overview!

The Art of Passover

That was lovely. I would like to see all of these works of art together in an exhibition.

I took a class with Larry Rivers!

It is always a pleasure to hear you speak.

Brilliant!

I did my thesis on Bernard Picart.
