  • 1959 Israeli Avraham Ofek Leviathan Modernist Lithograph, Bull, Bezalel School
    By Avraham Ofek
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Bright, vibrant purple, red and black bull or ox. 1959 Lithograph "Bull". This was from a portfolio which included works by Yosl Bergner, Menashe Kadishman, Yosef Zaritsky, Aharon Kahana, Jacob Wexler, Moshe Tamir and Michael Gross. Avraham Ofek (August 14, 1935 – January 13, 1990 was an Israeli sculptor, muralist, painter and printmaker. Avraham Ofek was born in Burgas, Bulgaria. He immigrated to Israel in 1949, and he lived in Ein Hamifratz, a kibbutz near Haifa. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, as well as in Spain and in London, and later taught art in Jerusalem before being appointed head of the Art Department at the University of Haifa. In 1975, he established the Leviathan Group school together with Michail Grobman and Shmuel Ackerman (prominent Post Soviet avant garde Russian artists), seeking to combine symbolism, metaphysics and Judaism in an all-inclusive “national style.” He represented Israel at the Venice Biennale in 1972. Avraham Ofek's early paintings of landscape were at both lyrical and rugged; later in his career the landscape was undefined and receded into the background. Near the end of his life, the landscape of Jerusalem became an important motif, reflecting loss and despair. Many of Ofek's landscapes convey a sense of alienation and solitude, as well as nostalgia for the city of his birth, Sofia. His mural paintings and sculpture can be seen across Israel, notably at Kfar Uria and the Central Post Office Building (Jerusalem). His sculpture "The Binding of Isaac...
