Shmulik and Shraga in Paris: 1953

Opening: 07.09.2019 - Closing: 09.11.2019

Artist: Shraga Weil, Shmuel Katz
Curator: Ron Bartos, Tali Tamir

From the moment Shraga Weil and Shmuel Katz first met at HaShomer HaTzair in Budapest, the two artists were soulmates, colleagues, and even shared similar worldviews. Weil and Katz’s artistic language also have many commonalities, and the two even walked a similar professional-artistic path in their public activity. In 1953 they were sent by the Kibbutz Artzi and the HaShomer HaTzair movement to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The exhibition presents their work from their days there, through their journey across Europe, and their return to Israel.

Jerusalem Artists’ House

The Jerusalem Artists House is situated in a historic building that once housed "The Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts," founded by Boris Schatz in 1906, today the current Bezalel Academy for Arts and Design. For a time the building housed the Bezalel National Museum, precursor of The Israel Museum, Jerusalem. When the Israel Museum was opened, the collections of the Bezalel National Museum were transferred to it, where they formed the initial core collection of the Museum. Since 1965, the House has served as home to the Association for Jerusalem Artists. In this capacity, the House has become a dynamic center for exhibitions, displaying unique and varied works of both Israeli and international artists. The annual exhibition plan includes a series focusing on prominent young artists exhibiting their works for the first time, as well as a series of retrospective works by veteran artists. In addition, the Artists House displays group exhibitions on a wide range of subjects, joint presentations between Israeli and international artists, as well as a variety of other activities.
