About the Item

This oil painting, by Pinchas Litvinovsky, portrays a lively and expressive depiction of a bris, the Jewish ritual circumcision ceremony. The composition is filled with dynamic brushstrokes, layered with vibrant and contrasting colors such as reds, greens, blues, and yellows. The figures are rendered in a semi-abstract, cubist-inspired style, where fragmented forms and angular shapes create a sense of movement and energy. The central focus appears to be the mohel (the individual performing the circumcision) and the infant, surrounded by a crowd of participants. The figures are stylized, with exaggerated features and bold outlines, emphasizing their emotional involvement in the ritual. The overall scene captures the communal and celebratory atmosphere of the event, with the colors and gestures conveying both joy and solemnity. Litvinovsky’s signature style combines modernist abstraction with themes rooted in Jewish tradition, creating a painting that is both culturally resonant and artistically innovative. The work exemplifies his ability to infuse everyday moments with vibrant energy and deep significance. Pinchas Litvinovsky (1894-1985) was born in 1894 in Novo-Georgiyevsk, Russia. He studied at the Academy of Art in Odessa. In 1919 he immigrated to Israel. In the 1930’s he traveled to Paris several times where he encountered the art of Matisse, Picasso and artists of the Jewish School of Paris. Litvinovsky was a strikingly physical, athletic type, an amateur boxer, a long-distance runner. He was a painter of the erotic and sensual for whom the canvas became a “lovers’ palette”. Under his brush the world became one of color and form. Women, men, children and animals were transferred into bright splashes of color and surprising, energetic forms. Litvinovsky’s images were drawn from his inner world with no attempt to depict a realistic environment or any defined space. His figures were formal and flat motives painted as concepts across a neutral, abstract background. Litvinovsky made a dramatic use of modernist styles, especially Cubism as reflected in the Russian painting of the 1920’s along with usage of bright colors, reminiscent of Matisse.
