About the Item

Avraham Goldberg, Painter. b. 1906, Poland. Immigrated to Eretz Israel 1919. Died in Tel Aviv, 1980. Studies: Art Academy, New York. Lived in Paris and Tel Aviv. Goldberg had three mentors: Rembrandt, Daumier & the Jewish town. From them he learned the art of shadows and light, of character and of sadness. This is a Jewish painter at his entity, his topics and his spirituality. During his lifetime Avraham Goldberg was called "The Jewish Rembrandt". The Studio - Home to artists Goldberg’s home in Ramat Aviv, where lived and worked, was also known as a place where renowned artists, collectors and art dealers often met. His works were in high demand and they can be found in museums and private collections in Israel and around the world and abroad. Even artists who shared totally different attitude and perception toward art, and were among the innovators and founders of the lyrical abstract "New Horizons" group, such as Avigdor Stematsky and Pinchas Abramovich, were among his close friends. There were fascinating conversations on the subject of creating and creation. Despite the difference in the artistic approach they had a fruitful dialogue. Years later, in 1979, when Goldberg had terminal illness, he proved how right was Walkowitz when he refused to treatments that would take away the quality of life from the time left to “finish” his works. Goldberg always claimed that a painting was made "complete" only when it was purchased and taken away from the studio. But as long as he possessed it, he could go back, “touch" it and possibly make some improvement. Until his last days, Goldberg "touched" his works and died at his home as he wanted.
