Review by Uzi Zur ( July 19, 2021)

Published in Haaretz, Culture and Literature, "Closing One Eye".

 

Each of the paintings in the beautiful and brave exhibition "The Unidentified" is a detective story or riddle, an attempt to find out who painted it, when and where.

Before us is a collection of carefully selected paintings full of beauty and emotion, in which the hidden personal voice is mingled. Some are from here and some are paintings from cold lands in a foreign land.

Each of them is also an object of sadness, a silent testimony to the oblivion that descended upon these painters, the artist's anxiety to be forgotten and with him the whole body of his work.
