Dora Holzhandler Art

British, French, 1928-2015

Dora Holzhandler was a French contemporary artist, born in 1928 in Paris, into a family of Polish refugees. She was later sent to live with a foster family, on a farm in Normandy, France. Holzhandler returned to her Jewish family, when she was five years old, before the family moved to London, in 1934. Though she endured the war in England, much of her extended family perished at Auschwitz, Poland. In 1948, she attended the Anglo-French Art School, in St. John’s Wood. Her childhood memories and Jewish roots permeate her work, as do her Buddhist beliefs. Holzhandler's innocent art has many fans, including Irish writer, Edna O’Brien, television art historian, Sister Wendy Beckett and comedian, Jack Dee, among others.

Sampson and Dahlia

By Bruce Adams

Bruce Adams is best known as a conceptually based figurative painter who references various (often historical) painting styles. In exploring the act of painting, Adams peels back the layers of meaning inherent in making and viewing art. Artist Statement: Though we don’t generally think about it, thirteenth-century religious art actually reflects medieval European perceptions of events that occurred in the ancient Middle East. In the Divine Beauty project I filter sacred iconography through the secular lens of today’s societal perceptions by placing found commercial fashion imagery (from magazines and other sources) in the context of painted religious narratives, producing a clash of ideas that throw both sources into question. Like many Western New Yorkers, I was raised Catholic. I attended a Catholic elementary school, went to church every day.
