About the Item

Typical of Herman's work that is figurative in essence though treated with a modernist, expressionist feel. This is a Limited Edition numbered 52 from the edition of 150 and is signed by the artist. Printed in 1997 by the Curwen Press. Josef Herman OBE, RA Herman was a highly regarded Polish-British painter who influenced contemporary art, particularly in the United Kingdom. He was part of a generation of central and eastern European Jewish refugee artists who emigrated to escape Nazi persecution. Born in Poland in 1911 he escaped the Jewish Ghetto where all his family died and fled to France initially and then the UK. Josef Herman, not exactly a Welsh artist, but the Welsh have claimed him as one of theirs due to him living for 11 years in Ystradgynlais and having an affinity with the mining community. He is one of the giants of the 20th Century and indeed was both a Royal Academician and was awarded an OBE for services to art.

    By Théo Tobiasse
    Located in Paonia, CO
    Assemblee des Rabbins et Notables au 16 siecle  dans un village de Lithuanie is an original artist proof ( E. A. ) lithograph by  Theo Tobiasse (b.1927 -2012) , an internationally successful French painter, engraver, illustrator, and sculptor. He grew up in Paris during the Nazi occupation. His work has great depth and originality as he seeks to express the inner world of man.  Perhaps the hardships he and his family endured helped define his artistic expression. He has had many exhibitions around the world, in Paris at the Drouant gallery, in Geneva, Montreal or Tokyo, then London, Zurich, Lauzanne, Los Angeles, Kyiv. He also had a solo exhibition in New York and many more shows world wide over the years.  A visit to Jerusalem in 1970 brought him closer to his Jewish origins. He created his first stained glass windows on the theme of “Jewish Holidays” for the Jewish Community Center in Nice and a monumental oil on canvas entitled Que tes tentes sont belles, ô Jacob (1982). He traveled and immersed himself in the cultures he encountered, the jazz of New Orleans, Mexican archaeological sites and Native American totems. In New York, he met Elie Wiesel...
