Lot 119

Description

Shimshon Holzman, 
Israeli 1907-1986 - 

Synagogue interior, 1947; 

watercolour and pencil on paper, signed in Hebrew and dated lower left '1947', 51.2 x 33.8 cm: together with another work by the same artist of the same medium, 'Landscape, 1947', 29.2 x 48.5 cm (2) 

Provenance: 
Rena Behrman and thence by descent 

Note: 
Rena Behrman (1909-2017) helped to aid the escape of more than 1000 Jewish refugees from Europe to Britain during the Second World War. Items from her collection were donated to the British Museum. 

Holzman studied in Paris in the 1930s and his work embraces the palette and the joie de vivre of painters such as Raoul Dufy and Henri Matisse, as well as that of his fellow Israeli artist Nachum Gutman. Watercolour was a particular focus in early Modern Israeli painting, as it liberated the brushwork of the artist. His work would focus particularly on Jewish and Israeli subjects. 

Holzman represented Israel at the 1959 Venice Biennale.
