Artist Raquel Partnoy: Paintings of Women of the Bible, music: Ofra Haza

admin — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:11:41 +0000

Women of the Bible, paintings series by the jewish artist Raquel Partnoy: Eve, Miriam, the daughters of Lot, Esther, Ruth and passages from The Song of Songs.

In 1994, when Partnoy visited the Jewish Museum in New York for the first time, she became impressed by the images and the rich textures of the ancient religious objects. It was then that she thought that she would need a different material than oil painting to portrait the life of the Jewish people and the stories of the women of the Bible. She chose fabrics to create the collages, more specifically, discarded fabrics she found at some upholstery stores and at dressmakers shops, to tell those stories about dreams, exile, and hopes.

The music of this video is by Ofra Haza (Shedemati and Lavo El Toch Haperach)

Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 06:51:19 +0000

“Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad” is a refreshing mix of comedy, music, spoken-word and show-stopping burlesque, told by the gals who learned to smoke at Hebrew School, got drunk at their Bat-Mitzvahs and would rather have more schtuppa than the chupah, featuring performers seen on Comedy Central, HBO and MTV. These badass chosen chicks boldly dare to
deconstruct years of tradition, expectations and guilt in a fast-paced vaudeville extravaganza, complete with kick lines, punchlines and a rendition of “L’chaim” with a fist in the mouth. This ain’t yo’ mama’s “Fiddler”!

Favorite Jewish Artists: Itzchak Tarkay

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:56:06 +0000

Itzchak Tarkay is another of my favorite jewish artists. Born in Northern Serbia in 1935, he was only nine years old when the Nazis sent him to the Mathausen concentration camp. After the war, he returned home and developed an interest in art. He immigrated to Israel in 1949 and soon began to study in the Bezalel Art Academy. His colorful paintings of women have become extremely popular in recent years. It is said that Tarkay always paints his women with their eyes cast down as his way of honoring those who did not survive the Nazi camps.
