Tel Aviv Museum Exhibit, “Valley on the Way to Kfar Yehoshua” – Paintings by Elie Shamir
October 15th, 2009Curator: Doron Lurie
Through November 2009
In an impressive and comprehensive exhibit, painter Elie Shamir – who was born in Kfar Yehoshua – presents the village that he was born in, views of the Jezreel Valley, the link between man and his land, between Jewish pioneers and the Arab natives and between the farmer and his field. In his paintings, Elie Shamir corresponds with ancient mythologies and artistic traditions that are intertwined with the story of a farming community and his personal memories. The interesting changes that transpire over the years are evident in the paintings, from the portraits of valley residents, to sowing the fields and the Chinese migrant workers eating in the fields. Shamir is a clear representative of Israeli painting, while also relying on motifs typical of artistic traditions.
The exhibit is accompanied by an impressive catalog with fascinating texts by various writers including Meir Shalev and Yitzhak Ben Ner
