WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES 124 East 57th Street, New York, NY (212) 421 5390 [email protected] Aïzpiri Paul Aïzpiri (b. 1919) was born in Paris on May 14, 1919. Aïzpiri entered l’École Bulle to learn antique restoration, after his father insisted that he first learn a trade as a means of assuring his livelihood. After the course he entered the Beaux-Arts to study painting. Aïzpiri was certainly encouraged as a young painter in his early 20’s, during somber war-torn France, exhibiting amongst the painters of l’École Pont-Aven and the Nabis. He became a member of the Salon d’Automne in 1945, won Third Prize at the Salon de Moins de Trente Ans, of which he was a founding member and later showed at the Salon “Les Peintres Témoin de leur Temps”. In 1948, Aïzpiri won the Prix Corsica which allowed him to go to Marseilles. His stay there so impressed him, that he declared it was a turning point of his art. Not only did he find a whole new world to paint which was far different subjectively from any life he had known in Paris, but also a new world of color.

  • Landscapes 20 January — 24 February 2018
    Avigdor Arikha Landscapes 20 January — 24 February 2018 Private View: Friday 19 January, 6-9pm Blain|Southern Potsdamer Straße 77–87 Avigdor Arikha, View from Rue de la Chaise, 2005 10785 Berlin Courtesy the Estate of Avigdor Arikha and Blain|Southern Blain|Southern presents Landscapes, a selection of landscape paintings and drawings by Avigdor Arikha (1929-2010), one of the great observational artists of the late twentieth century. The gallery now represents the Estate of Avigdor Arikha and Landscapes is the first exhibition of the artist’s work. The exhibition is on view in the Long Gallery, beginning a new programme of simultaneous exhibitions at the Berlin gallery. While Avigdor Arikha is highly regarded for his interiors, still lifes and portraits, most of which he painted in his Paris studio, he also spent long periods in Israel and New York, and he never failed to take his pencil or brush along with him. Spending summers in Israel, he painted the warm walls, arid hills and desert vegetation, and during his frequent trips to New York City, the city’s rhythmic, rising grids became a new view to stimulate his eye and hand. His adopted hometown of Paris was his most frequent subject, from iconic Haussmann cityscapes, to seemingly overlooked patches of the city. Wherever he landed his eye, he found a subject, or a structure, worthy of a picture. Landscapes allows viewers to travel with the artist, and to see places and perspectives that were important throughout the artist’s life. Window frames inspired the artist wherever he travelled. In View from Rue de la Chaise (2005), the warm glow of the interior window frames are contrasted with the cool burst of green from the tree beyond.

According to this suggestion, there are five stages of examination that can be made into a work-page or can be asked in the classroom. We suggest, for each stage, a number of questions that can be asked. 1. First reactions. 2. Identification of the subject – between the story and the picture. 3. Artistic fashioning – describing what the artist has done. 4. Examining the meaning. 5. Connecting back with the text. 1. First reactions - What catches your eye in the picture? What feeling or atmosphere does the picture evoke? - At first glance, what do you like or dislike in the picture? - Does the picture remind you of anything or make you think of anything specific? 2. Identification of the subject – between the story and the picture. - What is shown from the p'shat of the biblical story? (Characters, events, ideas, values). - What if anything, did the artist leave out? - What did the artist add to the text as he or she came to express his or her version of the text? - Give a title to the painting and sum up what is the main emphasis of the picture. 3. Artistic fashioning – describing what the artist has done.

  • Synagogues in Central and Eastern Europe in the Early Modern Period
    Chapter 10 Synagogues in Central and Eastern Europe in the Early Modern Period Batsheva Goldman-Ida To a great extent, Jewish life in early modern Europe revolved around a distinc- tion between the inner life of the Jewish minority and its broader interaction with the larger society. In Jewish thought, “the holy … is concealed and glowing within the dross.”1 This phenomenon is well expressed in the architecture of syn- agogues. The often fabulous interiors of wooden synagogues in the Polish-Lith- uanian Commonwealth (Fig. 10.1) were concealed from the street by plain exte- riors (Fig. 10.2). The tiered or hipped roofing may have provided an intimation of the domed interior to the professionally trained eye. According to Maria and Kazimierz (1919–2010) Piechotka: “Their powerful exterior forms, resulting from the external dimensions of the square main hall and the adaptation of the inner roof framework to accommodate mock vaulting, particularly as a series of suc- cessive roof-tiers, were reflected in their horizontal divisions, widely project- ing cornices and decoratively boarded friezes.”2 Yet, no part of the outer façade of the synagogue would have prepared the visitor for the fully painted interior. Jews, wary of antagonism, often kept exterior decoration to a minimum. Restrictions on the height of synagogues placed on Jews by the Christian authorities led, following medieval precedent, to the main floor being lowered to increase the height of the synagogue from within, with steps leading down from the entrance, a practice related to the verse from Psalms “I call to you from the depths, O Lord” (Ps.

    STEPHEN ONGPIN FINE ART AVIGDOR ARIKHA Rădăuți (Bukovina) 1929-2010 Paris Interior with Drawings Pastel on emery paper. Signed and dated Arikha Nov.88 in pencil at the lower centre edge. 505 x 300 mm. (19 7/8 x 11 3/4 in.) Provenance The estate of the artist Marlborough Fine Art, London. Exhibited New York, Marlborough Gallery Inc., Avigdor Arikha: twenty-five pastels, November 2007, no.3. Arguably one of the finest draughtsmen of the second half of the 20th century, Avigdor Arikha was born to German-speaking Jewish parents in Romania in 1929. The drawings he produced as a thirteen-year old boy while imprisoned in a Ukrainian labour camp brought him to the attention of the International Red Cross, who rescued him and sent him to a kibbutz in Palestine in 1944. After studying art at the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem, Arikha went to Paris in 1949, where he completed his training at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He eventually settled in Paris in 1954, studying philosophy at the Sorbonne and establishing lifelong and intimate friendships with Samuel Beckett and Alberto Giacometti. Arikha began his career as an abstract painter, but in 1965 abandoned painting completely, and spent the next eight years working on black and white drawings from life, as well as a series of monochromatic etchings. By the time he returned to painting in 1973, he had become a committed figurative painter, producing portraits of family and friends, interior scenes and still life subjects. Arikha’s drawings, invariably made from life, have always been much admired.
