Wally Findlay Galleries M a Rc C H Ag a L L (1887 - 1985) CHAGALLTH AND THE CIRCLE OF JEWISH PAINTERS OF THE 20 CENTURY WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES M ARC C HAGALL (1887 - 1985) MARC CHAGALL was born July 7, 1887, in Vitebsk, Russia. From 1907 to 1910, he studied in St. Petersburg at the Imperial Society for the Protection of the Arts and later with Leon Bakst. In 1910 he moved to Paris, where he was associated with Guillaume Apollinaire and Robert Delaunay and encountered Fauvism and Cubism. He participated in the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d’Automne in 1912 and held his first solo show in 1914 at Der Sturm Gallery in Berlin. Chagall visited Russia in 1914 and was prevented from returning to Paris by the outbreak of the war. He settled in Vitebsk where he was appointed Commissar for Art in 1918. He founded the Vitebsk Popular Art School and directed it until his resignation in 1920. He moved to Moscow and executed his first stage designs for the State Jewish Chamber Theater. He returned to Paris in 1923 and his first retrospective took place in 1924 at the Galerie Barbazanges-Hodebert, Paris. In 1933, the Kunsthalle Basel held a major retrospective of his work. During World War II, Chagall fled to the United States. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, gave him a retrospective in 1946. He settled permanently in France in 1948 and exhibited in Paris, Amsterdam and London. During 1951, he visited Israel and executed his first sculptures. During the 1960s, Chagall continued to travel widely, often in association with large- scale commissions he received. Among these were the windows for the synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, installed in 1962, a ceiling for the Paris Opera installed in 1964, murals for the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, installed in 1967, and windows for the Cathedral in Metz, France, installed in 1968. An exhibition of the artist’s work from 1967 to 1977 was held at the Musée du Louvre, Paris, in 1977-78, and a major retrospective was held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1985. Chagall died March 28, 1985, in St. Paul-de-Vence, France.

WA L LY F i N d L AY . com R EUVEN R UBIN (1893 - 1974) REUVEN RUBIN was born in Galati to a poor Romanian Jewish Hasidic family. He first studied art at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. However, he found that his artistic views clashed with those taught and left to pursue his studies at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. The painters who depicted the country’s landscapes in the 1920s rebelled against Bezalel. Rubin’s modern yet naïve style por- trayed the landscape and inhabitants of Israel in a sensitive fashion defined by a spiritual, translucent light. Biblical folklore and people along with sun-bathed landscapes were reoccurring themes in Rubin’s works. And, in accordance with his integra- tive style, he signed his first name in Hebrew and his surname in Roman letters. In 1924, Rubin became the first artist to have a solo exhibition at the Tower of David in Jerusalem. He was also elected chair- man of the Association of Painters and Sculptors of Palestine. In addition, many theaters, including the Habima and the Ohel, commissioned Rubin to design stage backdrops. In October 1974 Rub died in Tel Aviv. A collection of his paintings was left to the city of Tel Aviv, and in 1983, The Rubin Museum opened, with his daughter-in-law, Carmela Rubin as director and curator.

WA L LY F i N d L AY . com O TH O N F RIESZ (1879 - 1949) ACHILLE-ÉMILE-OTHON FRIESZ, known as Othon Friesz, was born in Le Havre in 1879. His parents encouraged him to become a painter and as soon as 1892 he began training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre. Here he worked at Charles-Marie Lhullier’s workshop and developed lasting friendships with Raoul Dufy and George Braque. In 1897 Friesz was granted a scholarship and studied until 1903 under Léon Bonnat at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. During this time he met with Henri Charles Manguin, Albert Marquet, Henri Matisse and Charles Camoin, and was heavily influenced by Camille Pissaro. In 1900 Friesz made his artistic debut at the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français, he ex- hibited work in 1904 at the first Salon d’Automne and again in 1906 at the Salon des Indépendants. The artist travelled extensively, often participating in exhibitions. As he visited Portugal in 1911, Belgium in 1912, Munich and Düsseldorf he became well known throughout Europe. Participation in the Armory Show in New York and Chicago brought him recognition in America. In 1937 Friesz and Raoul Dufy decorated the Palais de Chaillot on the occasion of the world fair in Paris. In addition, he taught at the Académie Moderne in Paris between 1912 and 1921, at the Académie Scandi- nave from 1925 and at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière from 1944 onward. Friesz’s works varied in style, ranging from traditional, austere technique to some of the boldest examples of Fauvism.

  • The American Abstract Artists and Their Appropriation of Prehistoric Rock Pictures in 1937
    “First Surrealists Were Cavemen”: The American Abstract Artists and Their Appropriation of Prehistoric Rock Pictures in 1937 Elke Seibert How electrifying it must be to discover a world of new, hitherto unseen pictures! Schol- ars and artists have described their awe at encountering the extraordinary paintings of Altamira and Lascaux in rich prose, instilling in us the desire to hunt for other such discoveries.1 But how does art affect art and how does one work of art influence another? In the following, I will argue for a causal relationship between the 1937 exhibition Prehis- toric Rock Pictures in Europe and Africa shown at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the new artistic directions evident in the work of certain New York artists immediately thereafter.2 The title for one review of this exhibition, “First Surrealists Were Cavemen,” expressed the unsettling, alien, mysterious, and provocative quality of these prehistoric paintings waiting to be discovered by American audiences (fig. ).1 3 The title moreover illustrates the extent to which American art criticism continued to misunderstand sur- realist artists and used the term surrealism in a pejorative manner. This essay traces how the group known as the American Abstract Artists (AAA) appropriated prehistoric paintings in the late 1930s. The term employed in the discourse on archaic artists and artistic concepts prior to 1937 was primitivism, a term due not least to John Graham’s System and Dialectics of Art as well as his influential essay “Primitive Art and Picasso,” both published in 1937.4 Within this discourse the art of the Ice Age was conspicuous not only on account of the previously unimagined timespan it traversed but also because of the magical discovery of incipient human creativity.

  • Paris, 1918-45
    un :al Chapter II a nd or Paris , 1918-45 ,-e ed MARK D EVOTO l.S. as es. 21 March 1918 was the first day of spring. T o celebrate it, the German he army, hoping to break a stalemate that had lasted more than three tat years, attacked along the western front in Flanders, pushing back the nv allied armies within a few days to a point where Paris was within reach an oflong-range cannon. When Claude Debussy, who died on 25 M arch, was buried three days later in the Pere-Laehaise Cemetery in Paris, nobody lingered for eulogies. The critic Louis Laloy wrote some years later: B. Th<' sky was overcast. There was a rumbling in the distance. \Vas it a storm, the explosion of a shell, or the guns atrhe front? Along the wide avenues the only traffic consisted of militarr trucks; people on the pavements pressed ahead hurriedly ... The shopkeepers questioned each other at their doors and glanced at the streamers on the wreaths. 'II parait que c'ctait un musicicn,' they said. 1 Fortified by the surrender of the Russians on the eastern front, the spring offensive of 1918 in France was the last and most desperate gamble of the German empire-and it almost succeeded. But its failure was decisive by late summer, and the greatest war in history was over by November, leaving in its wake a continent transformed by social lb\ convulsion, economic ruin and a devastation of human spirit. The four-year struggle had exhausted not only armies but whole civiliza­ tions.

    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.

    THE ART OF A TROUBLING FAMILY TRIANGLE: SARAI, AVRAM AND HAGAR By Noam Zion and Steve Israel Jean Lamb, Lady of Sorrows The Shalom Hartman Institute POB 8029 Gedalia Alon 11, Jerusalem 93113 Tel. 972 2 5675320 [email protected] 1 Art as Parshanut: A Systematic Analysis of Art as Commentary We bring here a systematic pedagogic suggestion for examining works of art that are based on texts. 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.
