About the Item

Ruth Schloss (1922 Nuremberg - 2013 Kfar Shmaryahu), Two old people, around 1990. Mixed media on watercolor paper, 33 cm x 38.5 cm, signed “Schloss” lower left and signed again in Hebrew lower right. In passepartout. - In very good condition - The Inertia of Time - In the last decades of her life, Ruth Schloss particularly focused on portraying people in nursing homes and hospitals. She captured the seemingly unobserved from their everyday lives. Through her virtuoso and concise brushstrokes, the artist illustrates the unique individuality of her subjects, each of whom has been marked by life in their own way. Through the pictures, the authentic fullness of often painful biographies becomes tangible. In this piece, two people sit opposite each other, withdrawn into their own inner worlds, waiting. About the artist Ruth Schloss's father was a social democratic stationer, and her mother ran a liberal kindergarten. In 1937, the Jewish family immigrated to Israel and settled in Kfar Shmaryahu, a village founded by German immigrants near Tel Aviv. There, they ran a model farm. Schloss studied at the New Bezalel Academy of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem until 1942 under Mordecai Ardon, who had trained at the Bauhaus in Dessau. From 1946, she took painting lessons at the Haartzi kibbutz. In 1947, she participated in her first group exhibition in Tel Aviv. From 1949 to 1951, Schloss continued her studies at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris. There, she was particularly inspired by the works of Bernard Buffet. In 1962, Schloss opened a studio in Jaffa, where she gave painting lessons to mothers and children until 1983. She exhibited her work at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. In 1991, the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art held the first retrospective of her work. In addition to painting, Schloss worked as a book and newspaper illustrator from 1939 onward. Due to her powerful socially committed art, she is known as the "Käthe Kollwitz of Israel." GERMAN VERSION Ruth Schloss (1922 Nürnberg - 2013 Kfar Shmaryahu), Zwei alte Menschen, um 1990. Mischtechnik auf Aquarellpapier, 33 cm x 38,5 cm, links unten mit „Schloss“ und rechts unten nochmals auf Hebräisch signiert. Im Passepartout. - in sehr gutem Zustand - Die Trägheit der Zeit - Insbesondere in den letzten Jahrzehnten ihres Lebens porträtierte Ruth Schloss Menschen in Altenheimen und Krankenhäuser. Die unbeobachtet wirkenden Personen werden aus ihrem Lebensalltag heraus erfasst. Dabei gelingt es der Künstlerin, mit virtuosem wie prägnantem Pinselduktus die Porträtierten in ihrer einzigartigen Individualität zu veranschaulichen, die auf je ihre eigene Weise vom Leben gezeichnet wurde. Durch die Bilder wird die authentische Fülle oftmals leidvoller Biographien spürbar. Hier sehen wir zwei einander gegenübersitzenden Personen, die nicht miteinander kommunizieren, sondern in jeweils ihre eigene Innenwelt zurückgezogen sich und sich in einem Zustand anhaltenden Wartens befinden. zur Künstlerin Ruth Schloss' Vater war ein sozialdemokratisch orientierter Schreibwarenhändler, die Mutter hatte einen liberalen Kindergarten geführt. 1937 emigrierte die jüdische Familie nach Israel und ließ sich in Kfar Shmaryahu, einem von deutschen Einwanderern bei Tel Aviv gegründeten Dorf, nieder und führten dort einen Musterbauernhof. Bis 1942 studierte Schloss an der New Bezalel Academy of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem bei dem am Dessauer Bauhaus ausgebildeten Mordecai Ardon. Ab 1946 nahm sie Malunterricht im Kibbuz Haartzi. 1947 erfolgte die erste Teilnahme an einer Gruppenausstellung in Tel Aviv. Von 1949 bis 1951 setzte Schloss ihr Studium in Paris an der Académie de la Grande Chaumière fort. In Paris wurde sie vor allem von den Werken Bernard Buffets inspiriert. 1962 eröffnete sie ein Atelier in Jaffa, das sie bis 1983 betrieb und dort auch Müttern und Kindern Malunterricht erteilte. Sie stellte im Tel Aviv Museum of Art und im Israel Museum in Jerusalem aus. 1991 war im Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art die erste Retrospektive ihres Werkes zu sehen. Neben der Malerei war Ruth Schloss seit 1939 auch Buch- und Zeitungsillustratorin tätig. Aufgrund ihrer eindringlichen sozialengagierten Kunst wird sie als „Käthe Kollwitz Israels“ bezeichnet.
