About the Item
Roni Taharlev's "The Look" is a masterful expression of human introspection. The 16.5" x 14.5" oil pastel portrait on paper is intimate, drawing the viewer into a moment of silent conversation with the subject. Taharlev employs a muted palette, with soft earth tones that highlight the natural complexion of the face against a subdued background, underscoring the contemplative mood. The subject’s gaze, both direct and evasive, suggests a story untold, capturing a snapshot of emotion and depth that is both personal and universal. This piece is a testament to Taharlev's ability to translate the complexity of human emotion onto canvas, inviting a dialogue that goes beyond the visual to the deeply personal.

Roni Taharlev: Transcending the Boundaries of Figurative Art Early Life and Background
Roni Taharlev was born on June 16, 1964, in Kibbutz Yagur, Israel. She is the offspring of creative lineage—her father Yoram Taharlev was a renowned Israeli lyricist, and her mother Nurit Zarchi is a distinguished poet and author. This artistic environment would lay the groundwork for her venture into the world of fine art. Academic and Teaching Experience Taharlev serves as a faculty member at the Bezalel Academy of Art, where she teaches painting and drawing. Further extending her influence on the next generation of artists, she was a Visiting Artist at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Berlin Institute of Advanced Studies) from 2019 to 2020. Artistic Style and Themes Taharlev is predominantly a figurative painter, her work echoing classical European art but invigorated with a modern twist. She confronts complex issues of identity, gender roles, and societal norms. Her art explores objectification, the boundaries of gender binaries, and cultural aspirations toward determinism versus ambivalence and play. Exhibitions and Recognition Her artwork has been showcased in a multitude of solo and group exhibitions. Among her most recent is a solo exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2023, titled "Not This Light, the Other Light." This retrospective will also include new works and will mark her achievement as the Haim Shiff Prize Winner. Her work has also been part of collections at prestigious institutions like the Israel Museum and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. She has exhibited internationally, including venues like the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais in Paris, the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center. Her work has also been featured in a variety of catalogues, solidifying her reputation in the art community. Awards and Accolades Taharlev has garnered significant recognition, winning Israel's highest award for figurative art, the Haim Shiff Prize for Figurative-Realist Art, in 2022. She was also one of the winners of the Rappaport Prize at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2021. Her artistry has also been acknowledged abroad, winning the BP Award at the National Portrait Gallery, London, in 2012, and an Artist Award during her work at the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin in 2019-2020. Legacy and Impact With her powerful artworks and extensive career in teaching and exhibitions, Roni Taharlev remains a beacon in the world of contemporary Israeli art. Her work will continue to challenge and engage audiences, shaping conversations about identity, society, and the potential of art itself.

- "The Artist's Portrait'By Robert McIntoshLocated in West Hollywood, CAPresenting a magnificent, early original pastel, "The Artist's Portrait", by American artist Robert McIntosh. "The Artist's Portrait", is an original pastel on artist's paper, signed, dated 1937, 13 x 9.75, currently unframed, the portrait was acquired directly from the personal collection of the artist. We have included the artist's biography below please contact the gallery for additional information, Robert McIntosh (1916-2010) Robert McIntosh was born on March 11, 1916 near San Francisco, in Vallejo, California, the second son of Harry and Jesusita Coronado McIntosh. He found his lifelong passion for painting by the time he was ten years old and never swayed from his calling. The family moved to Stockton when Robert was 12. Their home was just six blocks from the newly opened Haggin Museum, filled with a treasure trove of European and American paintings. He became particularly enamored with the fine examples of 19th century French pastoral landscapes. As teens, Robert and his brother Harrison befriended local painter Arthur Haddock who taught them the craft of art and brought them along on outdoor painting trips. Robert also became skilled at drawing portraits that captured the subject's personality. Soon, the sheer joy of expressing himself this way became a consuming interest. When not sketching, McIntosh would wander the stacks of books at the public library, discovering and studying the Masters - in particular, Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Whistler. At a Gauguin exhibit at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, Robert discovered a "whole new world of color" and the importance of designing the space in the eternal rectangle. "I envision a frame around everything I see, "he admitted. "The artists' challenge is to put something meaningful, interesting or beautiful in that space." In 1934 McIntosh won a competition for a scholarship to the Art Center School of Design, the first award they ever bestowed. The entire family moved to Los Angeles and a new vista opened to the young artist, both visually and culturally. Robert began to take on portrait commissions and had exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Art, The Oakland Museum of Art and the Crocker Museum of Art in Sacramento. During the Great Depression, Robert began to work at Disney Studios painting backgrounds for such classics as "Fantasia". Ron Barbagallo, of Animation Art...Category
