Hermann Urban Art

1866-1948

Hermann Urban, even if he was born in America, was deeply related to Germany, from which his family came from. He moved, in fact, to Münich to study at the Academy of Fine Arts following the courses of Johann Caspar Herteich and Willhelm von Diez and he lived until his death in Bad Aibling. The Italian trip was fundamental for the development of his career and art, especially the Florentine experience, where he met Arnold Böckling. His works of art can be found in lots of important museums, mostly in Germany and Adolf Hitler was a careful collector of his paintings. The subjects preferred by Urban were elegiac landscapes and ruins, characterized by a technique composed of pasty brush strokes, with Impressionist echoes, and a rich and pure palette.

Ben Avram, Israeli Bezalel School Old City Jerusalem Israel Landscape Painting

By Edward Ben Avram

Located in Surfside, FL

Edward Ben Avram Hand signed lower right Jerusalem Israeli Old City walls landscape cityscape. Home of the Har Habayit, The Western Wall, Temple mount. Size includes frame 23 X 28, paper is 14 X 20 inches Edward Ben Avram (born 1941) is an Indian - Israeli artist who was born in Bombay, India and immigrated to Israel as a teenager. He graduated from the Bezalel School of Art and Design in 1965 and continues to call Jerusalem his home. Most of Ben Avraham oil painting and watercolors portrays Israeli cities, particularly the old city of Jerusalem with its architecture and orientalist domes and arches, religious festivals, and Bible stories. He paints in creamy sensual tones incorporating symbols such as doves, a menorah, and Shabbat candles. With his penchant for filigreed designs and bright colors, Edouard Ben Avram betrays some influences of his Indian boyhood. But the subjects that he paints so gracefully with a touch of Oriental lyricism are scenes of Jerusalem, his home for over 20 years.
