Laurence Rathsack Interior Drawings and Watercolors
1920-2008
Painter and Educator, Laurence Rathsack was born and raised in Milwaukee. He studied under Alfred Pelikan while in high school. One of Rathsack’s block prints, River Bridge, can be seen in the book, Milwaukee Senior High School Block Prints. His art mentors at college were Robert Von Neumann and Howard Thomas. Before becoming a Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1956, Rathsack taught in high schools, the University of Saskatchewan, and privately. When commenting on his amazing teaching career from 1956–88, Rathsack called himself "a string, a conduit, from the mid-30s to the present. I came from a poor background and felt comfortable at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, an urban institution that is not one of those prestigious universities that call students of wealth.” Rathsack’s generosity and personal grace towards students led to a scholarship honoring him. The scholarship promotes excellence in drawing and painting. Known for his provocative experimentation in the watercolor medium, he was president of Wisconsin Watercolor Society. Rathsack was also the president of Wisconsin Painters & Sculptors (1960–61).

Israeli Modernist Watercolor Painting Safed Synagogue Interior Bezalel School

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.
