Nachum gutman biography of barack

In a well-known self-portrait of the painter and writer Nahum Gutman, Gutman is seen standing facing us, drawing with one hand and writing with the other, and the text in his handwriting, which surrounds the illustration, articulates a poetic, but also emotional principle: "This man (and he is me) occupies himself, apparently, In two jobs, but really he does what his heart wants, he says: one job."  The portrait is in itself a manifest hybrid work, combining illustration and text. In the course we will examine the characteristic of hybridity for its various issues, starting with the interaction of two components that react to each other and create a compound or areas of overlap (Abraham Shalonsky who said of Gutman that he is a tank with two taps, however, Gutman expressed in relation to himself: "I don't see a contradiction between a word and a painting") and a parallel creation, an object separately and a text separately. "For artists who write of the new style," commented Yair Garboz in his words about the match between the visual artist and the auter, "the prose serves as eyes, the words are a tool for observing the world. We will try to understand what the acts of overlapping or artistic parallelism mean, what are their origins and what is its artistic purpose.

Painter Nachum Gutman is born in a part of Russia that is now Moldova. At 7, he moves with his family to Ottoman Palestine. He fights for the British army’s Jewish Legion in World War I, then studies at the Herzliya Gymnasium in Tel Aviv before Bezalel in Jerusalem. Gutman paves the way for a new generation of Israeli artists, writer, painters and sculptors. He pioneers a uniquely Israeli style that moves away from European influences. He rejects the lessons of his Bezalel (art school established in Jerusalem in ) teachers because he sees their perspectives on artistry as far too European-centered. One of Israel&#;s best-known artists, Gutman works in oils, watercolors, gouache, sculpture, mosaics and engravings. Gutman writes prose, mostly short stories and children’s tales, on which generations of Israeli children are raised. His many honors include the Israel Prize in for his contribution to children’s literature. Gutman’s sculptures and brightly colored mosaics can be seen in public around Tel Aviv. Indoor murals depicting the history of Tel Aviv are in the western wing of the Shalom Tower and the Chief Rabbinate building. The Nahum Gutman Museum of Art is established in the Tel Aviv neighborhood of Neve Tzedik in , housing a collection of Gutman&#;s art donated by his family. The museum likwise features a recreation of Gutman&#;s workspace and art studio.

One of my favourite Jerusalem experiences is browsing in a tiny book shop called Trionfo in Dorot Rishonim Street. Located just off the busy pedestrianised Ben Yehuda Street, Dorot Rishonim is also home to a great new hotel - the Arthur, a good new kosher humous restaurant - Abu YoYo and a small bar called Birman that has either live music or dancing every night. I discovered Birman on my most recent visit when I heard music floating up from the street to my room in the Arthur before going along to enjoy a local quartet play some very cool versions of jazz standards the next night before watching some great swing dancers the night after. All for free!

The music (and the humous) were both great but back to Trionfo. Thanks to owner Abraham Madeisker, I have become the proud possessor of works by various Bezalel artists including Zev Raban's illustrated books and playing cards and books illustrated by another early giant of the Israeli art scene - E. M. Lilien. This time was no exception and I came away with two copies of the children's supplement from the former Davar newspaper, Davar l'yeledim (דבר לילדים) - or Davar for children.

Enormously popular with Israeli children at the time, it was filled with stories, quizzes, crosswords and articles on many different subjects. The copies I purchased include pieces on the Gilboa region, summer in the desert and a regular item called "letter from the camps" with news about the activities of children living in Ma'abarot refugee camps set up to absorb Jews forced out of North Africa and the Arab Middle East in the 's. In some parts the text is dense and the technology at the time was very different to that available for modern magazine production but the illustrations are charming and it is easy to see why this publication would have engaged so many children.

Davar was the official newspaper of the Histadrut or Labour federation. Founded in by Berl Katznelson, it was the most important newspaper of the
