Yitzchok Moully, the Pop Art Rabbi, will talk about his work and his Post Pop exhibit, currently featured at the Hadas gallery. His art contrasts timeless Judaic images with vibrant bold colors to create a startling combination, intertwining the history and culture of the Jewish world with the bright and colorful world we live in today. 

Elanit Kayne will discuss concept and collaboration. Her work is time, sight and life specific. Currently her collaborator is an eight-month-old baby with a very even temperament. 

Shoshannah Brombacher, with a background in Ancient Middle Eastern culture and Codicology, will discuss her many-faceted work as an artist, illustrator, writer and maggidah (story teller).

Is Completeness a Jewish aesthetic?

Aesthetics of Completeness 

By Ben Schachter

At the conclusion of the reading of the Purim story someone is bound to joke, “And that’s the whole megilah.” The mitzvah, or good deed, associated with the holiday is to hear the story from start to finish. Purim is but one holiday that connects to completeness. Others include; Passover when the entire Pascal offering must be eaten, Simchat Torah when the yearly reading of the Torah is finished and begun anew, and the seven-year cycle of daily Talmud study known as Daf Yomi. Others can be called to mind. Continue reading at Schachter's Jewish Art Theory Blog here.

Ron Milewicz's Exhibit "The soul exceeds its circumstances"

Bricks, 2013, oil on linen, 36" x 48"

Elizabeth Harris Gallery

529 W 20 St, New York NY 10011

September 12 – October 12, 2013

Tue-Sat 11-6

Reception: Thursday Sept. 12, 6-8pm

Acclaimed as a painter of the urban landscape, in his new works Ron Milewicz turns to painting objects in order to regard the life of his father, Eli Milewicz. The elder Milewicz, who died in 2012 at age 98, was a tailor who survived Auschwitz, three other Nazi concentration and forced-labor camps, and two death marches. The artist has chosen, from the facts of extraordinary experience, to depict ordinary objects – a shovel, bricks, spools of thread, an overcoat, a leaf. The paintings surprisingly and uncannily address, without bombast, fundamental issues raised by atrocity of inconceivable cruelty and scale.
