About the Item

A large watercolor painting. Moshe Gat was born in Haifa in 1935. in 1952 he began his studies at the Bezalel School, in Jerusalem. In 1955 he returned to Haifa, where he taught drawing, and began to participate in important exhibitions being shown in Israel. In 1957 he was awarded a grant by the America-Israel Cultural Fund, to further his studies abroad. He became a member of the Society of Painters and Sculptors in Israel, and held his first one-man exhibitions. The most important of these was in the Tel-Aviv Museum. In 1958 he left Israel, and after an educational tour of the museums of Paris and Italy, he reached Mexico. Several months later, two of his works were accepted for the exhibition of artists of Mexico; this was part of the American Biannual, which brought together in the city the best of American art. Here, the Director of the National Museum of Modern Art saw the pictures and arranged a one-man show for Gat at the Museum of the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City. In 1962 he held his first one man show at the ACA. Gallery in New York. He held exhibits too in New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit, Texas and elsewhere. In 1962, after an absence of five years, the artist returned to Israel, and settled in Haifa. In the following year he held exhibitions at the Haifa Municipal Museum, the Bezalel Museum in Jerusalem, the Artist's House in Haifa, and Jerusalem, the Chermerinsky Gallery in Tel Aviv, and other places all over the country. These exhibitions mainly included works produced abroad, many of which were borrowed from private collections. In 1962 he began to teach drawing at the Bezalel School in Jerusalem. Moshe Gat took part in the international exhibition at the Metropolitan Fine Art Gallery in Tokyo, where his woodcut "Three Old Women" won the prize for graphic art. He was one of the twelve Israeli artists whose works were shown also at an exhibition held at Pushkin House in Moscow, early in 1965. In 1965 he exhibited at the "Mer Kup" Gallery in Mexico City.

Modernist Watercolor Painting, Portrait of a Man, Judaica Rabbi
By Abraham Walkowitz
Located in Surfside, FL
Abraham Walkowitz (March 28, 1878 - January 27, 1965) was an American painter grouped in with early American Modernists working in the Modernist style. Walkowitz was born in Tyumen, Siberia to Jewish parents. He emigrated with his mother to the United States in his early childhood. He studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City and the Académie Julian in Paris under Jean-Paul Laurens. Walkowitz and his contemporaries later gravitated around photographer Alfred Stieglitz's 291 Gallery, originally titled the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession, where the forerunners of modern art in America gathered and where many European artists were first exhibited in the United States. During the 291 years, Walkowitz worked closely with Stieglitz as well as Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, and John Marin (often referred to as "The Stieglitz Quartet").

Modernist Israeli Judaica Mixed Media Painting Rabbis Walking In Jerusalem
By Moshe Katz
Located in Surfside, FL
Moshe Katz (Romanian Israeli), 1937- an Israeli citizen, studied art at the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem, as well as at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. Although not an exponent of one dominating technique of painting, Moshe has been fascinated in recent months with the textures and expressions he is able to obtain with the pallette knife. Picasso, Cezanne and Gaugin are his idols, and the power of Mexican art has a deep fascination for him. With elements of Folk Art combined with a sophisticated technique. He enjoys working in clay but finds painting in oil his greatest outlet for the stories he has to tell through his pictures. In addition to an outstanding collection of books featuring the works of the great masters, his shelves are lined with texts about hypnosis. Studying about the art of hypnotizing provides him with a mental exercise far removed from his highly developed art of expressing himself on canvas. He has exhibited with the Painters and Sculptors Association in Israel, Haifa and the North along with artists: Yaacov Agam, Sela (Blaustein), Emanuel Pinhassi, Pasternak, Anna, Chaltiel, Joseph Schwartz, Nira Shemer, Aviva, Fadel, Mohamed Bishara, Sana, Menashe Kadishman, Menashe Shalhevet, Yitzchak Frumin, Moshe Rosen, Maureen Moshe was born March 2, 1937 in Bucherest, Romania with his parents, he fled from the Nazis and after stops in many countries, reached Israel. His paintings have been displayed by Arts International...
