Please find details of “Abstraction” by Moshe Tamir
Moshe Tamir (Tulchinsky) (1924-2004) was born in Odessa, he moved to Israel with the family when he was 3 years old. The artist received international education, started from Bezalel in Jerusalem, then continued at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and the National High School of Fine Arts in Paris.
His works have abstract, cubist and, also, some realist features. In particular, “Abstraction” is very volumetric with loose impasto technique. It resembles a still life with the objects’ frames outlined by massive intense strokes. Darker inner parts sometimes remind scratches and holes creating the light sense of anxiety mixed with fascination. The work as abstract art in general goes beyond physical reality, touching emotions by the forms and bright contradicting colors. The artist combined gestural and spontaneous brushstrokes and mark-making of this abstract expressive piece with some recognizable features of objects.
Moshe Tamir’s works are parts of private and public collections, for instance, his famous “Wounded Amnon” is on permanent display at the Tel Aviv Museum.

In addition, I would share here a link to the blog about Tamir’s “Two Figures”, cubist portrait. Moreover, “Woman (Cubism)” by an unknown artist incorporates cubist and expressionist features. It has geometric outlines as well as distinct planes shown from a bit different angles. Thus, it creates the three-dimensionality, an illusion of depth.
Besides, another interesting abstract piece in our gallery – “I Don’t Know” by Bram Bogart.
