Israel Joins the Movement for Abstract Art

Israelis in the 1950's could not help but join the widespread circle of abstract art, which governs European and United States art fields. In their never ending attempts to be up-to - date. Abstract art of the twentieth century was founded in the US as a cultural weapon in the late 1940's during the Cold War. American culture representatives have promoted individual art, the abstract art, as an all-embracing expression of the freedom of speech of their citizens. Throughout all artistic media this Abstract Expressionism contrasts with the Soviet Social Realism, the (single) soviet culture style which was intended to easily be grasped by the people, representing the spirit of the "bourgeois" individualism and serving the society for which it was produced.

A little late, just at the beginning of the 1950's, the abstraction arrived in Israel and became the most venerated "culture" in the local field of art. In an attempt to demonstrate its freedom from universal abstraction and thus develop unique characteristics, scholars tried for years to attribute Israeli abstraction to local traits. Does an abstract painting in the USA vary from an Israeli? Some scientists have created a special Israeli abstraction adjective: they have branded it as 'lyrical abstraction,' hoping that it will be considered more 'local.' The artists Yosef Zaritzky, Elhanan Halperin, Yechezkel Shteichman and Leah Nikel, will be included in this list.

 During the 1950's, the greatest number of high class works of Israeli artists — paintings and sculptures — were somehow abstract. They were "burghistoric" art in keeping with the idea of "art for the sake of art." This approach was in contrast with the socialist philosophy of the Israeli political system, which said art was to serve society and represent its values.

In the 1950's and the 1960's, Israeli officials showed a conscious preferences for non-Israeli Jewish artists of the Diaspora, who received large public commissions. Nathan Rapaport, a Russian Jewish artist, was commissioned to ermine the Soviet bronze-style giant memorial in two kibbutzim in the Southern part of the country (1950-1953). He had been commissioned by Benno Elkan, a German Jewish artist who had left Germany and made England his home.

What is the relationship between art and artist?

Relationship of art and an artist is one of the purest relationship. Art is life, love, passion and creativity for an artist. Artists live to paint. Art is lively hood to artists. Art is as important to an artist as breathing to humans. There’s one line said by a very famous personality is that “The artist has one function–to affirm and glorify life.” I follow an artist who is a great example of a relationship an artist has with art.

Craft as an exercise of neurocognition

Art is a method for induction. Artistic interactions can convey meaning, provide a way of relaxation, or can help to communicate and express oneself. Through piece of art takes the spectator, participant or experiencer to a mental experience. Experient experience in an art work typically includes processes such as visual processes of low levels such as orientation and edge detection and of higher levels including identification or separation from context. creative processes generally include visual processes. Compared to daily life, an creative interaction will require more cognitive processes such as control, memory, emotion and another high-level partner. Executive functions such as working memory and focus are important for experiencing this work so they can gather the various pieces of the work presented and avoid distractions to be captivated by the work of artwork (Dudai, 2008).

What is 'Jewish' culture? Is there such thing as Jewish art and music?

Jewish history has been the Jewish people's community, starting with the founding, by the modern state of Israel, of the Jewish nation in ancient Israel. Through practice and values, Judaism directs its adherents, so that it's not just a religion but also an orthopraxy. Not every person or cultural phenomenon is a distinction native to Enlightenment thought, which can be categorized as "secular" or "religious." Yes there is a very famous Jewish art known as Contemporary Judaica art. This art belongs to Israel because there mostly Jewish people resides. Judaica art is related to jewish religion only. I know Tehila Zion who is a Judaica Artist. For your reference I am adding her websites and some artwork to have a look.  Footnotes [1]  Tehila Art | [2]  Login • Instagram [3]  Tehila Zion
