This is a great Judaica Israel landscape. The Old City of Jerusalem during the British Mandate in Palestine. 24.5 x 31 image 16 x 22.5 Isidor Ascheim (איזידור אשהיים; 1891-1968) was a German-born Israeli painter and printmaker. Isidor Ascheim was born in Margonin (present-day Poland) in 1891. He was raised in an Orthodox, Judaic, Jewish family and served during World War I. In 1919-23, Ascheim studied under the German Expressionist Otto Mueller in Breslau and was influenced by Erich Heckel of the Die Brücke (The Bridge) group. He immigrated to Mandate Palestine in 1940 and settled in Jerusalem. He was married to the Israeli painter Margot Lange-Ascheim. He taught at the Bezalel School of Art (amongst his students were David Palombo, David Rakia, Aharon Bezalel, Kopel Gurwin and more) and served as its director for several years. He also taught at the Avni Institute in Tel Aviv along with Moshe Mokadi. Marcel Janco and Aaron Giladi. Ascheim's art is based on a direct impression of nature, life and the human form. His oeuvre represents a continuous connection with nature and the human figure, usually executed with a dark palette, the legacy of his German Expressionist roots. He was a contemporary of Jacob Steinhardt, Mordecai Ardon, Josef Budko and Hermann Struck. Awards and recognition In 1953, Ascheim was a co-recipient of the Dizengoff Prize for Painting. In 1955, he received the Jerusalem Prize for Art. In 1956, he participated in the Venice Biennale, Italy Selected collections Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco Israel Museum, Jerusalem References Isidor Aschheim: Drawings & Prints [Izidor Ashhaim: rishumim ve-hedpesim] .

His father was a prosperous merchant. In spite of his family’s devoutness, Ascheim had both religious training at home and an education in a German school. In 1903 the family moved to Breslau, where he studied in the gymnasium. When War War I broke out, he was drafted into the German army. In 1918, when the war ended, he began studying art in Breslau, and then in Cracow. In 1939 he made Aliyah to the Land of Israel under the auspices of the Aliyah Bet program. He was caught by the British government and sent to the Atlit detention camp for about seven months. After he was released he settled in Jerusalem and found employment as a lecturer at the “New Bezalel.” In 1946 he married the painter Margot Lange Ascheim. From 1960-1961 he served as director of the “New Bezalel.” Most of Ascheim’s work was in the field of prints. In the 1920s he also produced engravings. Later he specialized in stone printing (lithography), including Biblical subjects, landscapes, and expressionist subjects. In addition, he painted.
