About the Item
Lea Nikel was a prominent Israeli artist known for her distinctive style and significant contributions to the world of art. Born in 1918 in the city of Tarnopol (now Ternopil, Ukraine), Nikel's family relocated to Palestine during her early childhood. Growing up in the vibrant artistic scene of Tel Aviv, she developed a deep passion for painting and embarked on a lifelong journey of creative expression.
Nikel's artistic style is often associated with "Lyrical Abstraction," a movement that emerged in the mid-20th century. Lyrical Abstraction is characterized by its emphasis on expressive and spontaneous gestures, using abstract forms to evoke emotions and evoke a sense of poetry. Rather than representing recognizable objects, Lyrical Abstraction artists like Nikel sought to convey inner emotions, moods, and experiences through their art.
Throughout her career, Lea Nikel explored the fusion of colors, shapes, and brushstrokes to create mesmerizing and emotionally charged compositions. Her paintings often feature a harmonious interplay of vibrant hues, expressing a profound sense of freedom and movement. Nikel's artistic approach allowed her to convey a profound sense of emotion and introspection, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the lyrical and poetic qualities of her works.
As a pioneer of Lyrical Abstraction in Israel, Lea Nikel played a pivotal role in shaping the country's contemporary art scene. Her influence extended far beyond her homeland, garnering international recognition and acclaim. Her artistic journey spanned over six decades, during which she continued to evolve her style and experiment with different techniques, leaving behind a rich and diverse body of work.
Some of the notable institutions, both in Israel and internationally, that house her artworks include:
The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Israel.
Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Ein Harod Museum of Art, Ein Harod, Israel.
The Jewish Museum, New York, USA.
The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C., USA.

- Tavern, Abstract (1960)By Chuck CloseLocated in Saint Augustine, FLArtist: Chuck Close Title: Tavern Year of Work: 1960 Medium: Oil on Canvas Signature: Signed & Dated Upper Left Dimensions: framed 31 x 25 unframed 30 x 24 Provenance: Chuck Close, Marjorie Dalton (Dear friend of Chuck), Private Collection. Tavern, is truly a rare find, an original oil on canvas, in compelling blues and grays with a touch of gold and orange. This work reveals more imagery and detail the longer one enjoys it. This painting was created during his years studying in Yale Art School, and draws different qualities to each new viewer similar to a Rorschach. Close's work is in the collections of most of the great international museums of contemporary art, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York City. and the Tate Modern in London. Artist Bio: Chuck Close – (1940-2021) an American painter, artist and photographer born in Monroe, Washington. Early childhood illnesses including a neuromuscular condition, nephritis and dyslexia were compounded later in life by a condition known as prosopagnosia (face blindness), which may have inspired him to do portraits. Most of his early, large-format portraits are based on photographs, using photorealism or hyperrealism, of family and friends, often other artists. Close often painted abstract portraits of himself and others, which hang in collections internationally. Even though a catastrophic spinal artery collapse in 1988 left him severely paralyzed, he continued to paint inspired by artists like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. Close's first solo exhibition, held in 1967 at the University of Massachusetts Art Gallery, Amherst, featured paintings, painted reliefs, and drawings based on photographs of record covers. Being much in the mainstream of pop art, a fragment of Close's portrait of singer-songwriter Paul Simon...Category
