I have a family who commissioned me to find all the Jewish paintings I can find. He gave me no budget constraint. I do not know why it has not established guidelines to follow for me, he just wants to amass a collection quickly.
I found an oil painting that was a Jewish painting called Jewish meeting. The artist was Amparo Cruz Herrera. The artist is Spanish and this work exuded grace. I really liked. I bought it for eight thousand dollars. My benefactor was happy with the purchase.
My client made no distinction between Jewish paintings that were religious in nature and those that were only painted by a Jewish person. Leon Bakst I bought a few that has been dated to 1910. His subject was a person in an exotic costume. I do not know where my client plans to show it.
The next Jewish painting I found for him a cityscape in oil of an abandoned house in Veroia. This painting only cost six thousand dollars. Veroia is a Jewish neighborhood in northern Greece. I thought this painting was a bit disturbing.
I found another good Jewish painting for my client. The title of the painting was Juedische Oesterreich Jewish Austria and was created by Frank Ettenberg in 2004. The person who sold me the painting said that the painting evokes a sense of the artist's state of being face to face with nationalism, ethnic identity and an existential situation.
I found another Jewish painting I liked for four thousand dollars. The oil painting called Birds of Paradise was painted by Maurice Sterne. Sterne was a Jewish immigrant from Russia. It was the first person to have a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He exhibited 174 paintings, drawings and sculptures.
I found a Jewish painting of a cat that sold for thirty five hundred dollars. The artist of this work was Wettingfeld Zarojewski. I could not find another artist's work at all. My client really liked it. It is also a cat lover as well as being a collector of Jewish art.
There was a wonderful Jewish painting of a seated woman. I fell in love with it on sight. The woman depicted looks so reflective and comfortable. I feel comfortable looking at that.
I finally found a significant Jewish religious painting for my client. The artist was Joan Landis and the title of the painting was Simchat Torah. This is the paint that was used by Pomegranate Publishing for their 2003 calendar and their greeting cards. I thought it was lovely.
I liked the Jewish painting by Joan Landis so much that I looked over his work. I bought two paintings. One of the paintings was appointed on Shabbat and the other was mikvah. I took the three that I bought for my client and he fell in love with them. He asked me to find more of his work.
I found more work by Joan Landis and I bought all I found. I found three other Jewish paintings on eBay at reasonable prices. I bought Shavuot, Purim and the birth of three thousand dollars each. I felt like I had a good deal.
I liked the colors in the painting Jewish, I bought called the tailor shop. This painting was created by Jacob Glushakow. He was an active member of the Jewish community of Baltimore. His parents were immigrants from Russia at the beginning of the first world war. He has a painting that is still preserved in the permanent collection of the Museum of Art in Baltimore.
I was lucky to find two paintings by Jacob Jewish Glushakow on the way to purchase same. The other painting I found was called Grange, Maryland. I loved and my client was very happy with what I brought for him.
