Berlin with the Jewish painter and Graphic designer, Hermann Struck. In 1933 he
immigrated to Israel with Mordecai Ardon and Yaacov Shtainheart. Two years
later, with the opening of the “New Bezalel” school in Jerusalem, he became the
head of the institution, a position he held till his death in 1940. His
work includes carving for the Pesach Hagada, woodcarvings ilustrating biblical
events, decorations for the books of Agnon, Bialik and numerous etchings and
lithographies. This exhibition presents the series of woodcarvings
created for the 50 th. Edition of Haim Nahman Bialik’s writings, published in
Berlin in 1923. Other works exhibited, present the wide range of Jewish and
Zionist topics that Budko dealt with over his long carrier Joseph Budko Polish 1888-1940 Joseph Budko was amongst an
influential group of graphic minded Jewish artists who embraced the revival of
the woodcut, a medium which lent itself perfectly to express the views of
Israel and Jewish culture in various lands.Born in Poland, Budko studied art in
Germany under the instruction of Hermann Struck and the influence of Jacob
Steinhardt. Mixing his personal attitude with Jewish outlook; melding Jewish
tradition and modern artistic approach, Budko soon developed his own powerful
style, influencing future great artists in turn—Marc Chagall being no
exception. Budko has been credited with resurrecting the spirit of book
illustration by elevating it to modern design. Eventually moving to Israel,
Joseph Budko became the head of the Betzalal Academy in Palestine when it
re-opened in 1935. He remained in this position until his untimely death, in
1940. The term Bezalel school describes
a group of artists who worked in Israel in the late Ottoman and British Mandate
periods. It is named after the institution where they were employed, the
Bezalel Academy, predecessor of today’s Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, and
has been described as "a fusion of ‘oriental' art and Jugendstil."
The Academy was led by Boris Schatz, who left his position as head of the Royal
Academy of Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria, to make aliyah 1906 and set up an academy for
Jewish arts. All of the members of the school were Zionist immigrants from
Europe and the Middle East, with all the psychological and social upheaval that
this implies. The school developed a distinctive style, in which artists
portrayed both Biblical and Zionist subjects in a style influenced by the
European jugendstil ( or art nouveau) movement, by symbolism, and by
traditional Persian and Syrian artistry. Like the British Arts and Crafts
Movement, Wiener Werkstätte in Vienna, William Morris firm in England, and
Tiffany Studios in New York, the Bezalel School produced decorative art objects
in a wide range of media: silver, leather, wood, brass and fabric. While the
artists and designers were European-trained, the craftsmen who executed the
works were often members of the Yemenite community, which has a long tradition
of craftsanship in precious metals, and began to make aliyah about 1880.
Yemenite immigrants with their colorful traditional costumes were also frequent
subjects of Bezalel School artists.Leading members of the school were Boris
Schatz, E.M. Lilien,Ya'akov Stark, Meir Gur Arie, Ze'ev Raban, Jacob Eisenberg,
Jacob Steinhardt, and Hermann Struck.The artists produced not only paintings
and etchings, but objects that might be sold as Judiaca or souvenirs. In 1915,
the New York Times praised the “Exquisite examples of filigree work, copper
inlay, carving in ivory and in wood,” in a touring exhibit. In the metalwork
Moorish patterns predominated, and the damascene work, in particular, showed
both artistic feeling and skill in execution . Bezalel Academy of Art and Design is
Israel's national school of art. It is named after the Biblical figure Bezalel,
son of Uri (Hebrew: ), who was appointed by Moses to oversee the design and
construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 35:30).It is located on Mount Scopus in
Jerusalem and has 1,500 students registered in programs such as: Fine Arts,
Architecture, Ceramic Design, Industrial Design, Jewelry, Photography, Visual
Communication, Animation, Film, and Art History & Theory. Bezalel offers
Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.), Bachelor of
Design (B.Des.) degrees, a Master of Fine Arts in conjunction with Hebrew
University, and two different Master of design (M.des) degree. The academy was
founded in 1903 by Boris Schatz, and opened in 1906, but was cut off from its
supporters in Europe by World War I, and closed due to financial difficulties
in 1929. The academy was named "Bezalel" (Hebrew: "in God's
shadow") as an illustration of God's creativity being channeled to a man
of flesh and blood, providing the source of inspiration to Bezalel ben Uri in
the construction of the holy ark.Many early Zionists, including Theodor Herzl,
felt that Israel needed to have a national style of art combining Jewish,
Middle Eastern, and European traditions. The teachers at the academy developed
a distinctive school (or style) of art, known as the Bezalel school, in which
artists portrayed both Biblical and Zionist subjects in a style influenced by
the European jugendstil (art nouveau) and by traditional Persian and Syrian
styles.Like the Wiener Werkstätte in Vienna, William Morris firm in England,
and Tiffany Studios in New York, the Bezalel School produced decorative art
objects in a wide range of media: silver, leather, wood, brass and fabric.
While the artists and designers were European-trained, the craftsmen who
executed the works were often members of the Yemenite community, which has a
long tradition of craftsanship in precious metals, and whose members had been
making aliyah in small groups at least form the beginning of the nineteenth
century, forming a distinctive Yeminite community in Jerusalem. Silver and
goldsmithing, occupations forbidden to pious Muslims, had been traditional
Jewish occupations in Yemen. Yemenite immigrants with their colorful
traditional costumes were also frequent subjects of Bezalel school
artists.Leading artists of the school include Meir Gur Aryeh, Ze'ev Raban,
Boris Schatz, Jacob Eisenberg, Jacob Steinhardt, and Hermann Struck. The School
folded because of economic difficulties. It was reopened as the New Bezalel
School for Arts and Crafts in 1935, attracting many of its teachers and
students from Germany many of them from the Bauhaus school which had been shut
down by the Nazis. In 1969 it was converted into a state-supported institution
and took its current name. It completed its relocation to the current campus in
1990.
Theodor Herzl (Hebrew: תִאוַדָר
הֶרְצֵל , Ti'vadar Hertzel ; Hungarian: Herzl Tivadar ; May 2, 1860 – July 3, 1904), born Benjamin Ze’ev
Herzl (Hebrew: בִּנְיָמִין
זְאֵב הֶרְצֵל , also known in Hebrew as חוֹזֵה הַמְדִינָה ,
Khozeh HaMedinah , lit. "Visionary of the State") was an
Austro-Hungarian journalist and writer. He is considered to have been the
father of modern political Zionism and in effect the founder of the State of
Israel.writer, father of the Zionist movement, creator of the Jewish State. He
was born in Budapest; his birthplace was located where nowadays the Jewish
Museum can be found, in the Dohány Street (currently). He was educated in Reformed
atmosphere (following the modern religious tendency’s characteristics of
Hungarian Jews), he graduated from the Budapest Lutheran High School. While his
studies, he was influenced by spirituality and intense national feeling as
well. In 1878, his family moved to Vienna where he was learning law and
writing. He became a journalist, and he started to work for the ’Neue Freie
Presse’, with some liberal influential attitudes.The anti-Semitism appeared in
his life for the first time while his studies at the University of Vienna, but
his first real confronting happened in Paris, in connection with the so-called
Dreyfus-lawsuit (a Jewish officer of the French Army was accused of treason in
1894). Herzl himself was an eyewitness of the angry crowd’s reactions while
their waiting for the verdict, with exclamations like ’Death to Jews'. As a
result, he created his drama in 1894 with the title ’The Ghetto’, dealing with
tasks like if assimilation and conversion to Christianity were real solutions
or not. For the same result, he wrote a thesis with the title ’Der Judenstaat’
(The Jewish State) in which he suggests Jews from all over the world to return
to Palestine, the ancestral homeland, from where they were expelled at that
time. Herzl believed that the main problem of the Jews is not individual but
international. He emphasized that the Jewish people can appeal to other nations
only if nobody consider them to be "unusual". He suggested to obtain
support for creating a global fund, which would be owned by shareholders and
would work for the political implementation of this goal. This was the birth of
the Zionist Organization. The first Zionist Congress was organized by Tivadar
Herzl in 1897, and later he became the president. In Herzl’s opinion, there is
power of these words, that "if you will, no fairy tale," which became
the motto of the Zionist movement. Before he died, the Turkish government has
reached to allow the Jews to settle Palestine, but this has than provoked
displeasure for the local Arab population. Herzl imagined the Jewish State as a
neutral, secular and peace-loving country. In his mind, future of the Jewish
State was a model of a socially welfare state, which was an ideal for a modern,
enlightened one; he wrote about his dreams in his novel, ’Ősújország’ in 1902.
He died in 1904, Vienna because of his cardiac failure and pneumonia. He was
buried in Döbling, near to his father, and his mortal remains were transported
to Israel in 1949, and lastly he was buried on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. ebay816
