Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874-1925) was anart nouveaupainter and photographer particularly noted for his art onJewishandZionistthemes. He is sometimes called the \"first Zionist artist.\"BiographyEphraim Moses Lilien (Maurycy Lilien) was born inDrohobycz(Galicia). In 1889-1893 Lilien learned painting and graphic techniques at theAcademy of Arts in Kraków. He studied under Polish painterJan Matejkofrom 1890 to 1892. As a member of theZionist Movement, Lilien traveled toPalestineseveral times between 1906 and 1918.He accompaniedBoris SchatztoJerusalemto help establish theBezalel Art School.Artistic careerLilien is known for his famous photographic portrait ofTheodor Herzl. He often used Herzl as a model, considering his features a perfect representation of the \"New Jew.\"[4]In 1896, he received an award for photography from the avantgarde magazineJugend. Lilien illustrated several books. In 1923, an exhibition of his work opened in New York.[5]Lilien\'s illustrated books includeJuda(1900), Biblically-themes poetry by Lilien\'s Christian friend, Börries Freiherr von Münchausen, andLieder des Ghetto(Songs of the Ghetto) (1903), Yiddish poems by Morris Rosenfeld translated into German.Death and commemorationLilien died inBadenweiler,Germanyin 1925. A street in theNayotneighborhood of Jerusalem is named for him. ******* Born 1874 in Drohobycz (Galicia) - died 1925 in Badenweiler. Lilien was one of the most influential jewish artists of his time. In 1896 he received an award for photography from the avantguarde magazine \"Jugend\". He was a member of the zionist movement and undertook several journeys to Palestine and the middle east between 1906 and 1918. Lilien illustrated several books, his bible illustrations have become most famous. His first exhibition in USA took place in 1923 in New York. His works are owned by renowned national and international museums and private collections worldwide. ******* Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874-1925) is known as the father of Zionist iconography. Although he was raised Orthodox in Galicia, he sought a secular education and settled in Germany in 1899 were he became involved in the movement to restore Jewish statehood. He was the master of the Jewish motif and fashioned a national Jewish art by blending traditional Jewish symbols within contemporary styles, such as theJugendstil(German Art Nouveau). Lilien introduced ground breaking efforts in book art, which were illustrated methodically in India ink. His first endeavor wasJuda[1900], a book of biblical poetry by Christian friend, Börries Freiherr von Münchausen. It was followed byLieder des Ghetto(Songs of the Ghetto) [1903], which contained Morris Rosenfeld’s translated Yiddish poems about the suffering masses in the Diaspora. UnlikeJuda, which focused on the proud ancient Hebrews,Lieder desGhettoconcerned the torment of a displaced people with hope for future redemption in the Promised Land. AlthoughLilien traveled to Palestine and helped found the first Jewish art institute in Jerusalem, he and his wife Helen Magnus,an assimilated Jewish intellectual, grew increasingly absorbed in German bourgeois life and he never emigrated. On exhibit are first editions of Lilien’s book art and reproductions from those and other anthologies in the collection and designs printed on postcards. The postcards from circa 1910 represent an important format used to spread the internal message of Zionism. Lilien produced modern Jewish works that helped to instill a sense of national unity and pride, but his popularity and influence expanded throughout the East and West.*******Martin Buber (Hebrew: מרטין בובר; German: Martin Buber, pronounced [ˈmaʁtiːn̩ ˈbuːbɐ] i; Yiddish: מארטין בובער; February 8, 1878 – June 13, 1965) was an Austrian Jewish and Israeli philosopher best known for his philosophy of dialogue, a form of existentialism centered on the distinction between the I–Thou relationship and the I–It relationship.[2] Born in Vienna, Buber came from a family of observant Jews, but broke with Jewish custom to pursue secular studies in philosophy. He produced writings about Zionism and worked with various bodies within the Zionist movement extensively over a nearly 50 year period spanning his time in Europe and the Near East. In 1923, Buber wrote his famous essay on existence, Ich und Du (later translated into English as I and Thou),[3] and in 1925, he began translating the Hebrew Bible into the German language reflecting the patterns of the Hebrew language.He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature ten times, and the Nobel Peace Prize seven times.[4]BiographyMartin (Hebrew name: מָרְדֳּכַי, Mordechai) Buber was born in Vienna to an Orthodox Jewish family. Buber was a direct descendant of the 16th-century rabbi Meir Katzenellenbogen, known as the Maharam (מהר\"ם), the Hebrew acronym for “Mordechai, HaRav (the Rabbi), Meir”, of Padua. Karl Marx is another notable relative.[5] After the divorce of his parents when he was three years old, he was raised by his grandfather in Lemberg (now Lviv in Ukraine).[5] His grandfather, Solomon Buber, was a scholar of Midrash and Rabbinic Literature. At home, Buber spoke Yiddish and German. In 1892, Buber returned to his father\'s house in Lemberg.Despite Buber\'s putative connection to the Davidic line as a descendant of Katzenellenbogen, a personal religious crisis led him to break with Jewish religious customs. He began reading Immanuel Kant, Søren Kierkegaard, and Friedrich Nietzsche.[6] The latter two, in particular, inspired him to pursue studies in philosophy. In 1896, Buber went to study in Vienna (philosophy, art history, German studies, philology).In 1898, he joined the Zionist movement, participating in congresses and organizational work. In 1899, while studying in Zürich, Buber met his future wife, Paula Winkler, a \"brilliant Catholic writer from a Bavarian peasant family\"[7] who in 1901 left the Catholic Church and in 1907 converted to Judaism.[8]Buber, initially, supported and celebrated the Great War as a \'world historical mission\' for Germany along with Jewish intellectuals to civilize the Near East.[9] Some researchers believe that while in Vienna during and after World War I, he was influenced by the writings of Jacob L. Moreno, particularly the use of the term ‘encounter’.[10][11]In 1930, Buber became an honorary professor at the University of Frankfurt am Main, but resigned from his professorship in protest immediately after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. He then founded the Central Office for Jewish Adult Education, which became an increasingly important body as the German government forbade Jews from public education. In 1938, Buber left Germany and settled in Jerusalem, Mandatory Palestine, receiving a professorship at Hebrew University and lecturing in anthropology and introductory sociology. After the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, Buber became the best known Israeli philosopher.Buber and Paula had two children: a son, Rafael Buber, and a daughter, Eva Strauss-Steinitz. They helped raise their granddaughters Barbara Goldschmidt (1921–2013) and Judith Buber Agassi (1924–2018), born by their son Rafael\'s marriage to Margarete Buber-Neumann. Buber\'s wife Paula Winkler died in 1958 in Venice, and he died at his home in the Talbiya neighborhood of Jerusalem on June 13, 1965.Buber was a vegetarian.[12]Major themesPart of a series onPeshischa HasidismRebbes & evocative, sometimes poetic, writing style marked the major themes in his work: the retelling of Hasidic and Chinese tales, Biblical commentary, and metaphysical dialogue. A cultural Zionist, Buber was active in the Jewish and educational communities of Germany and Israel.[13] He was also a staunch supporter of a binational solution in Palestine, and, after the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel, of a regional federation of Israel and Arab states. His influence extends across the humanities, particularly in the fields of social psychology, social philosophy, and religious existentialism.[14]Buber\'s attitude toward Zionism was tied to his desire to promote a vision of \"Hebrew humanism\".[15] According to Laurence J. Silberstein, the terminology of \"Hebrew humanism\" was coined to \"distinguish [Buber\'s] form of nationalism from that of the official Zionist movement\" and to point to how \"Israel\'s problem was but a distinct form of the universal human problem. Accordingly, the task of Israel as a distinct nation was inexorably linked to the task of humanity in general\".[16] ****** Jehudo Meier Epstein was born into a poor family in Slonsk, Minsk, in the Russian Pale of Settlement. He received a thorough Jewish education, and in a memoir of 1929, ‘My Journey from East to West’, he particularly recalled the observance of the Jewish Holy Days in his childhood. He probably received his first drawing lessons in Vilnius, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna (1888-1894), where he won many prizes. Epstein’s theme was eastern-European Jewish life, particularly figures from the Ghetto, as well as scenes from the Bible, landscapes and portraits. During the First World War he was an official Austrian war artist and in 1923 was made a Professor at the Vienna Academy. Following the Nazi rise to power, Epstein visited Cape Town, South Africa, to complete a commission in 1935; and immigrated to South Africa in either 1935 or 1938.After emigration, Epstein lived in Johannesburg with his wife, Gusti, in Gainsborough Mansions, Hillbrow (Berea), until his death on 16 November 1945. Epstein was cremated the following day in Johannesburg, but is buried in the Jewish section of the Viennese cemetery where his urn was transferred for burial by his widow on 18 October 1949. ***Jozef Israëls (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjoːzəf ˈɪsrɑɛls]; 27 January 1824 – 12 August 1911) was a Dutch painter. He was a leading member of the group of landscape painters referred to as the Hague School and was, during his lifetime, \"the most respected Dutch artist of the second half of the nineteenth century.\"[1]Early lifeHe was born in Groningen to Jewish parents. His father, Hartog Abraham Israëls was a money changer and he intended for Jozef to be a businessman. His mother was Mathilda Salomon née Polack, and she hoped that Jozef would become a Rabbi. When he was eleven years old, he attended Minerva Academy in Groningen and he began to study painting.[2][3]He subsequently continued his studies in Amsterdam, studying at the Royal Academy for Fine Arts which later became the State Academy for Fine Arts in Amsterdam. He was a pupil of Jan Kruseman and attended the drawing class at the academy. From September 1845 until May 1847 he was in Paris, working in the history painter Picot\'s studio and taking classes at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under James Pradier, Horace Vernet, and Paul Delaroche. He returned to Amsterdam in September 1845, where he resumed his studies at the Academy until May 1847.[4] Israels remained in Amsterdam until 1870 when he moved to The Hague and became a leading member of the Hague School of landscape painters.[5]SensibilityIsraëls on the beach at Scheveningen (1911)Israëls has often been compared to Jean-François Millet. As artists, even more than as painters in the strict sense of the word, they both saw in the life of the poor and humble a motive for expressing with peculiar intensity their wide human sympathy; but Millet was the poet of placid rural life, while in almost all Israëls\' pictures there is some piercing note of woe. Edmond Duranty said that they were painted with gloom and suffering.[5]He began with historical and dramatic subjects in the romantic style of the day. After an illness, he went to recuperate his strength at the fishing-town of Zandvoort near Haarlem, and there he was struck by the daily tragedy of life. Henceforth, he was possessed by a new vein of artistic expression, sincerely realistic, full of emotion and pity.[5]Among his more important subsequent works are The Zandvoort Fisherman (in the Amsterdam Gallery), The Silent House (which gained a gold medal at the Brussels Salon, 1858), and Village Poor (a prize at Manchester).[5]In 1862, he achieved great success in London with his The Shipwrecked Mariner, purchased by Mr Young, and The Cradle, two pictures that the Athenaeum magazine described as the most touching pictures of the exhibition.[5] A portrait of Jozef Israëls was painted by the Scottish painter George Paul Chalmers .Honours1886: Officer in the Order of Leopold.[6]Later workHis later works include The Widower (in the Mesdag collection), When we grow Old, Peasant Family at the Table[7] and Alone in the World (Van Gogh Museum / Amsterdam Gallery), An Interior (Dordrecht Gallery), A Frugal Meal (Glasgow museum), Toilers of the Sea, Speechless Dialogue, Between the Fields and the Seashore, The Bric-a-brac Seller (which gained medals of honor at the great Paris Exhibition of 1900).Langs Moeders Graf [nl], 1856Langs Moeders Graf [nl], 1856 We Grow Old. Jozef Israëls, 1878We Grow Old. Jozef Israëls, 1878 Alone in the World. Jozef Israëls, 1881Alone in the World. Jozef Israëls, 1881 : A Jewish Wedding. Jozef Israëls, 1903A Jewish Wedding. Jozef Israëls, 1903David Singing before Saul, one of his later works, seems to hint at a return on the part of the venerable artist to the Rembrandtesque note of his youth.[8] As a watercolour painter and etcher he produced a vast number of works, which, like his oil paintings, are full of deep feeling. They are generally treated in broad masses of light and shade, which give prominence to the principal subject without any neglect of detail. Israëls probably influenced many other painters and one them was the Scottish painter Robert McGregor (1847-1922).Personal lifeHe married Aleida née Schaap and together the couple had two children, a daughter Mathilde Anna Israëls and a son, Isaac Lazarus Israëls, born in 1865, who also became a fine art painter. On August 12, 1911 Jozef Israëls died in Scheveningen, The Hague.[2] ****Max Liebermann (20 July 1847 – 8 February 1935) was a German painter and printmaker, and one of the leading proponents of Impressionism in Germany and continental Europe. In addition to his activity as an artist, he also assembled an important collection of French Impressionist works.The son of a Jewish banker, Liebermann studied art in Weimar, Paris, and the Netherlands. After living and working for some time in Munich, he returned to Berlin in 1884, where he remained for the rest of his life. He later chose scenes of the bourgeoisie, as well as aspects of his garden near Lake Wannsee, as motifs for his paintings. Noted for his portraits, he did more than 200 commissioned ones over the years, including of Albert Einstein and Paul von Hindenburg.[1]Liebermann was honored on his 50th birthday with a solo exhibition at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin, and the following year he was elected to the academy.[2] From 1899 to 1911 he led the premier avant-garde formation in Germany, the Berlin Secession. Beginning in 1920 he was president of the Prussian Academy of Arts. On his 80th birthday, in 1927, Liebermann was celebrated with a large exhibition, declared an honorary citizen of Berlin and hailed in a cover story in Berlin\'s leading illustrated magazine.[2] But such public accolades were short lived. In 1933 he resigned when the academy decided to no longer exhibit works by Jewish artists, before he would have been forced to do so under laws restricting the rights of Jews.[2] His art collection, which his wife inherited after his death, was looted by the Nazis after her death in 1943.In his various capacities as a leader in the artistic community, Liebermann spoke out often for the separation of art and politics. In the words of arts reporter and critic, Grace Glueck, he \"pushed for the right of artists to do their own thing, unconcerned with politics or ideology.\"[1] His interest in French Realism was offputting to conservatives, for whom such openness suggested what they thought of as Jewish cosmopolitanism.[1] ****** Leo Lesser Ury (November 7, 1861 – October 18, 1931) was a German Impressionist painter and printmaker, associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting.Life and careerUry was born in Birnbaum in what was then Prussia (now Międzychód in Poland), the son of a baker whose death in 1872 was followed by the family\'s relocation to Berlin.[1] In 1878 Lesser left school to apprentice with a tradesman, and the next year he went to Düsseldorf to study painting at the Kunstakademie. Ury spent time in Brussels, Paris, Munich, and other locations, before returning to Berlin in 1887.[1]His first exhibition was in 1889 and met with a hostile reception, although he was championed by Adolph von Menzel whose influence induced the Akademie to award Ury a prize. In 1893 he joined the Munich Secession, one of the several Secessions formed by progressive artists in Germany and Austria in the last years of the 19th century. In 1901 he returned to Berlin, where he exhibited with the Berlin Secession, first in 1915 and notably in 1922, when he had a major exhibition. By this time Ury\'s critical reputation had grown and his paintings and pastels were in demand. His subjects were landscapes, urban landscapes, and interior scenes, treated in an Impressionistic manner that ranged from the subdued tones of figures in a darkened interior to the effects of streetlights at night to the dazzling light of foliage against the summer sky. He also painted Biblical scenes, many of which have not survived.[1]Ury is especially noted for his paintings of nocturnal cafe scenes and rainy streets. He developed a habit of repeating these compositions in order to sell them while retaining the originals, and these quickly-made and inferior copies have harmed his reputation.Always introverted and distrustful of people, Ury became increasingly reclusive in his later years. He died in Berlin and is buried in the Jewish Cemetery in Berlin-Weissensee. ***** Solomon Joseph Solomon RA RBA (16 September 1860 – 27 July 1927) was a British painter, a founding member of the New English Art Club and member of the Royal Academy.[2]Solomon\'s family was Jewish, and his sister, Lily Delissa Joseph (née Solomon), was also a painter.[3] He made an important contribution to the development of camouflage in the First World War, working in particular on tree observation posts and arguing tirelessly for camouflage netting.BiographyBorn in London in 1860, Solomon studied at various art schools, sequentially, Heatherley School of Fine Art, the Royal Academy Schools, the Munich Academy, and École des Beaux-Arts (under Alexandre Cabanel). Solomon also studied separately under Rev. S. Singer.[3][4] He exhibited his first works as early as 1881, and showed at the Royal Academy, the New Gallery, and the Society of British Artists.[3] In 1886, he became one of the founding members of the New English Art Club. In 1896, he became an associate of the Royal Academy, with full membership following in 1906, one of the few Jewish painters to do so.[3][5] He joined, and became president of, the Society of British Artists in 1919.[3] In 1921 \"Col. S.J. Solomon, R.A., P.R.B.A.\" was listed as one of the early members of the newly formed Society of Graphic Art.Solomon died on 27 July 1927, he is buried at Willesden United Synagogue Cemetery in London.ArtSamson (1887) which is on display at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.Solomon\'s painting was grounded in his influence from his teacher Alexandre Cabanel, but was also influenced by Frederic Leighton and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Solomon painted mainly portraits to earn a living, but also painted dramatic, theatrical scenes from mythology and the bible on large canvasses. These scenes include some of his more popular paintings. In 1897 he painted a mural for the Royal Exchange, London Charles I demanding the Five Members at the Guildhall, 1641–42. One of Solomon\'s most popular works was Samson (1887), depicting a scene from the biblical story of Samson and Delilah.[1] This painting was praised for its use of multiple male nudes in active poses.[4] Samson is one of few Solomon paintings on regular display, at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.[1] Some other Solomon paintings that have received significant attention include Ajax and Cassandra (1886) and The Birth of Love (1896).[1]Solomon became well known as an innovative portrait artist by the time he painted Mrs Patrick Campbell as \'Paula Tanqueray\' ARA (1894),[3] her role in Arthur Wing Pinero\'s The Second Mrs Tanqueray, and went on to paint a number of portraits of well-known people, including the architect Sir Aston Webb, and later in life, the royals King George V, Queen Mary, and Prince Edward (later King Edward VIII).[6] Solomon was also in demand as a book illustrator, particularly adventure books.[5] In 1914, Solomon authored The Practice of Oil Painting and Drawing.CamouflageA British Mark I tank with the Solomon camouflage schemeDuring World War I, Solomon was a pioneer of camouflage techniques. Having originally signed-up at the start of the war as a private in The Artists Rifles, a Territorial Force regiment, he promoted his ideas on camouflage, initially in the press and then directly to senior army officers.[7]In December 1915, General Herbert Plumer arranged for Solomon to visit the front lines and investigate techniques in use by the French. His ideas were accepted, and he was asked to set up a team to start the production of camouflage materials in France.[8] On 31 December 1915, General Douglas Haig, Commander-in-chief of the British forces in France, instructed that Solomon be given the temporary rank of Lieutenant-Colonel to enable him to carry out his new duties.[9]Main article: Camouflage treeThe new unit\'s first task was the design of armoured observation posts disguised as trees, following the pioneering work of the French Section de Camouflage led by Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola. The first British tree observation post was put up on 22 March 1916. Solomon was effective at the artistic and technical tasks of designing trees and nets, but not as a commander. He was replaced in March 1916, instead becoming a technical advisor, a role that suited him better. In May 1916, he was sent to England to help develop tank camouflage. Solomon doubted that tanks could be effectively camouflaged since they cast a large shadow. Instead, he argued for the use of camouflage netting, with which he gradually became obsessed, claiming that the Germans were hiding huge armies under immense nets. Camouflage netting was at first considered unimportant by the army; it was not manufactured in large quantities until 1917.[10] Eventually, in 1920, he published a book, Strategic Camouflage, arguing this case, to critical derision in England but with some support from German newspapers.[10][11][12]In December 1916, Solomon established a camouflage school in Hyde Park[13] which was eventually taken over by the army.[10]Family lifeSolomon\'s daughter, Iris, was married to Ewen Montagu, one of the \"brains\" behind Operation Mincemeat in World War Two.[14] Solomon was an uncle of the American playwright Moss Hart.[15] ***** 6156/213
