About the Item

Bright colorful abstract circus scene with balloons. Born in 1941 in Sanandaj, Iran and immigrated to Israel at the age of 17. Elie Abrahami began his study of art at the Avni School of Fine Arts, Tel Aviv, from 1964-1968, and later attended the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, from 1970-1972. He has been living and working in Paris since the late 1960s. Abrahami has had numerous one-person exhibitions both in the United States and throughout the world. His works can be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and internationally in public and private collections, including the Tel Aviv Museum and the Rothschild Collection, Paris. He won a first place prize for painting at the Jewish Art Museum in Paris and an honorary prize at the First International Engraving Biennale in Monaco. Abrahami’s delicate watercolours and oil paintings, combining Persian eastern and western traditions, have been exhibited in various galleries throughout the world and acquired by some of the most important collections in the world, to include the Metropolitan Museum, the Guggenheim Museum and the British Museum. Exhibition: From the Gottesman Etching Center, Kibbutz Cabri. Curator: Meira Perry-Lehmann. Eighteen artists' portfolios, comprising etchings of the highest caliber, set new standards for artistic printmaking in Israel. Each album of twelve works presented a reflection of its maker, and all had in common a strong sense of the artist's Israeli identity. Also presented was a portfolio of etchings created during a special workshop conducted by American printmaker Jim Dine in 2000. The exhibition featured works by Deganit Berest, Michal Goldman, Dina Kahana-Gueler, Asaf Ben Zvi, Yehiel Shemi, Ofer Lellouche, Jan Rauchwerger, Zadok Ben David, Yigal Ozeri, Alex Kremer, Philip Rantzer, Sharon Poliakine, Sigalit Landau, Micha Ullman, Dani Karavan, Menashe Kadishman, Noemi Smilansky, Elie Abrahami, Hila Lulu Lin, and Jim Dine.

Purim Holiday Scene Judaica Aquatint Etching American Modernist WPA Artist

Located in Surfside, FL

He wrote fairy tales and poems in Hebrew under the name Benzion Weinman, but when he began painting he dropped his last name and hyphenated his first, saying an artist needed only one name. Ben-Zion was a founding member of “The Ten: An Independent Group” The Ten” a 1930’s avant-garde group, Painted on anything handy. Ben-Zion often used cabinet...
