About the Item
Herbert Siebner (1925-2004) was a German-born Canadian painter whose work is characterized by its expressive use of color and texture, and its exploration of themes of war, exile, and the human condition. Siebner's early life was deeply marked by the rise of Nazism and the horrors of World War II, experiences that profoundly shaped his artistic vision. After the war, he studied at the Berlin Academy and embraced Expressionism, finding a visual language to convey the complexities of human experience.
Siebner immigrated to Canada in 1954, where he continued to evolve his artistic style, incorporating elements of abstraction and symbolism. His work often features recurring figures such as the Mother Goddess and the Giant, archetypal representations of creation, resilience, and the forces that shape our world. Siebner's art invites contemplation on the human journey, the search for meaning, and the delicate balance between chaos and order. His paintings are not merely visual expressions but reflections on life's profound questions, imbued with the wisdom of an artist who witnessed both the darkest depths and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
Siebner was a prolific artist, with over 9,000 works to his name, encompassing paintings, watercolors, drawings, graphics, sculptures, and sgraffito. He held over 100 solo exhibitions in museums and galleries across Europe, Canada, and the United States. His contributions to the art world were widely recognized, culminating in a 2003 retrospective exhibition celebrating 50 years of his artistic journey in Canada.

Lyrical Abstract Israeli Expressionist Oil Painting
By Hanna Ben Dov
Located in Surfside, FL
Hanna Ben Dov is an Israeli abstract painter who was born in Jerusalem in 1919 and died in Paris in 2008.
Ben Dov's father, Yacov Ben-Dov, was a famous Israeli photographer who founded the photography department in the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in 1910. Hannah herself attended Bezalel during the 1940s, and later continued to Camberwell College of Arts in London. After the completion of her formal education she moved to Paris, where she exhibited for the first time in 1948 and has been living and working there since, as a part of the local abstract artists school. She took part in the first French Biennale of 1951, that was held in Menton.
Collections
Her paintings can be found in several collections, including the French State Collection, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art collection, the Bezalel National Museum collection in Jerusalem and the Rockefeller Museum collection in New York.
Ben Dov resided for her last two years at the Maison Des Artistes Home in Nogent-Sur-Marne, France, just outside Paris.
