NISSAN ENGEL
Israel, b. 1931
Multidisciplinary artist Nissan Engel was born in Haifa, Israel in 1931. Best known for his mixed media works, Engel incorporates myriad techniques and materials to create his expressive, uniquely cohesive compositions.
At the age of 17, Engel enlisted in the army and served as a combat aircraft machine gunner in the war for independence. Upon leaving the army, he entered Jerusalem’s prestigious Beaux-Arts Bezalel, where Grand Master Mordechai Ardon would be one of his professors. After graduating from Bezalel, Engel moved to France where he eventually earned a diploma in theater design from the Centre Dramatique de l’Est in Strasbourg. In the mid-1950s, he made his way to Paris where he put his training to work as a stage and costume designer. In 1960, Engel exhibited his paintings at the Galerie André Weil, the first of many successful shows with the gallery. Five years later, he moved to New York City where he continued to produce figurative and representational paintings of landscapes, still lifes, and equestrian themes in a graphic and colorful style.
Engel’s style continuously evolved over the course of his long and prolific career. He explored and perfected new modes of creation and expression, branching out from painting to incorporate drawing, collage, and printmaking into his pieces. Influenced by prominent European Expressionists such as Picasso, Klee, Marini, and Kandisnky, Engel also studied and drew inspiration from the work of conceptual artists Oppenheim and Beuys, and from friends and colleagues of the abstract expressionist New York School.
Since his first shows in the late 1950s, Engel has regularly exhibited at top galleries in France, Israel, the United States, and around the globe. His art can be found in the collections of the Bridgeston Museum, Tokyo; the Weizman Institute in Rehovot, Israel; Elf Atochem Corporation, Paris, The Jewish Museum, New York City; Albright-Knox Museum, Buffalo; The Detroit Institute of Arts; the Muscarelle Museum of Art, Williamsburg, Virginia and more.

- 1972 Gestural Oil Painting Boat in Harbor Figural Abstraction Raoul MiddlemanBy Raoul MiddlemanLocated in Surfside, FLRaoul Middleman (born 1935 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American painter. Middleman has been a member of the Maryland Institute College of Art faculty since 1961. American University Museum at the Katzen Center has described Middleman as a "Baltimore maestro [whose] nudes are not pretty—they are sagging, dimpled, and real. His cityscapes reveal the underbelly of post-industrial rot, his narrative paintings give contemporary life to his personal obsessions. They are intelligent, messy, and utterly masterful." From an interview with RM "I was doing abstract art. Then Roy Lichtenstein came around, and I wanted to be current. I remember Grace Hartigan said, “You’ve gotta go to New York, seize destiny by the hand.” My friend Jon Schueler took my slides up to Eleanor Ward, who had the Stable Gallery. My Pop art paintings were discovered. I moved to New York into Malcolm Morley’s old loft down on South Street. Agnes Martin was upstairs... People who interest me come from different quarters. I knew guys around Schueler, like B.H. Friedman. But I also knew the Pop world pretty well – Al Hansen, Richard Artschwager, Lichtenstein. I became friends with Raoul Hague and I rented a place in Port Jervis, New York. I started doing my first landscapes up there. I thought making landscapes was the dumbest thing you could do. You got flies, insects, cow pies, humidity. But I loved it... I went down to the meetings of the Figurative Alliance. I met my friends there — Paul Resika, Paul Georges, Rosemarie Beck...Category

Immigrated to Palestine in 1920. Studies: 1921-25 Art Academy, Vienna; Dresden Academy. Alweil brought with him the high values of the Central European avant-garde, which he had absorbed during his years of study in Vienna.

He was one of the founders of the Tel Aviv Art Museum and the Midrasha Art Teachers College in Israel. As opposed to other modern Israeli artists in his period, Allweil's woodcuts and illustrations pertained to contemporary events such as the Holocaust and the pioneering spirit before the establishment of the State of Israel. Most notable is this work as well as the first illustrated Passover Haggada for the IDF which he made in 1950 and which was printed for 3 years with his inspirational woodcut illustrations.

- Rare Polish American 1930s Oil Painting Painting WPA Russian Babushka Jewish ArtBy Abram TromkaLocated in Surfside, FLAbram Tromka was born May 1, 1896 in Poland. At the age of seven he immigrated with his family to the United States, settling in New York City. It was on the boat coming to New York where Tromka first became interested in art. Fascinated by a woman who was painting, he decided that he wanted to become an artist. Upon arrival at immigration headquarters, Tromka’s family adopted the surname “Phillips,” which he kept until 1930. Hence the artist’s early works bear the signature — ‘Phillips.’ Having a rough childhood, Tromka left home at 15 and spent the remainder of his teenage years living at the Henry Street...Category
