Markus Pierson
Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and grew up in the small farming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popular restaurant. A self-proclaimed “racer,” Markus was the youngest and most challenging of the four Pierson children. While he was a student, an encouraging art teacher opened the door to Markus’ talent and deeply moved him. However, the Grand Ledge art scene was somewhat lacking, leading Markus to take on a number of odd jobs before stumbling upon accounting as a means of making a living. After a near-fatal battle with Crohn’s disease in early 1985, he declared the accountant “dead” and in his place was a man pursuing his dream of becoming a successful artist. The Coyote series was born in June 1986, after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song “Coyote.” He loved it, played it often, and memorized the lyrics. The song’s central theme, a guy named “Coyote,” is a reckless, free-spirited Casanova type of guy—Pierson aspired to be the carefree novelist described in those lyrics. Then he did something he’d never done before or since: Markus drew a song. For the next six months, Markus painted billboards by day for a living and drew his Coyotes by night. On the wall above his desk, he taped these words: “No one works as hard and as smart – and it comes to nothing.” Within a year, he was leaving Artexpo in New York with engagements from 110 art galleries looking to represent his work.

MORDECHAI AVNIEL
Minsk, Belarus, b. 1900, d. 1989
Mordecai Dickstein (later Avniel) was born in 1900 in Minsk, present-day Belarus. He studied fine arts in Yekaterinburg, Russia (1913–19) and at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (1923). Avniel immigrated to Palestine in 1921 where he first worked as a pioneer in citrus plantations near Petah Tikva. In 1923, at the urging of Boris Schatz, he went to Jerusalem to further his art studies at Bezalel. He later taught painting and sculpture at the school, and served a term as director of the Small Sculpture Section of the Sculpture Department (1924–28). From 1935 on, Avniel lived in Haifa. Avniel was also a lawyer and a founding partner of the Haifa firm Avniel, Salomon & Company.
Avniel regularly showed his work in group exhibitions of the Painters and Sculptors' Association of Israel. He was awarded the Herman Struck Prize (1952), Tenth Anniversary Prize for Watercolours, Ramat Gan (1958), Histadrut Prize (1961), and First Prize Haifa Municipality (1977). He represented Israel at the 1958 Venice Biennale and the 1962 International Art Seminar at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Avniel was a member of the Artists' Colony in Safed and maintained a studio on Mount Carmel.
Mordechai Avniel is best known for his deft and singular landscape work.
His works are held in numerous museums and collections both in Israel and abroad, including the Metropolitan Museum, New York and the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, PA. Avniel's manipulations of light and colour share much with those of compatriot artists Shimshon Holzman and Joseph Kossonogi.
