Art Gallery Exhibit: The Passover Series
Shlomo Katz, Polish/Israeli, 1937 – 1992
Born in Lodz, Poland, Shlomo Katz immigrated to Palestine when he was eight years old in 1945. Katz developed an original technique of oil painting on a gilded metal surface. The result recalls medieval icons on the one hand, and oriental miniatures on the other. These ancient resources combine to form a totally modern image with a light humorous touch and a noble character. It took a lot of experimentation to translate these images to the graphic art form. The metallic inks of the golden tones and the importance of absolute registration presented just a part of the challenge, but the Katz serigraphs became the ultimate in modern printmaking.
Exhibit on display April 19 – 28, MJCC Lobby
Please note that this will now be a virtual event. More details as we get closer, please register for information! Join Rabbi Eve and the women of CNS to explore the central themes of Passover from a personal perspective. Through art, written word, and conversation we’ll use our own experiences to delve into the themes of liberation, freedom and progress. We hope you’ll lend your (virtual) presence to a gathering of women of all ages and stages for a wonderful evening. Please click here to register.
