Prussion Blue

En mi serie Azul de Prusia, abordo el Holocausto en la pintura buscando generar la impresiรณn pictรณrica de un silencio tan solemne y directo como elocuente, ofreciendo asรญ una alternativa a las restricciones fatalistas que han frenado la producciรณn de obras que abordan este tema.

Pintura azul de Prusia: El producto Zyklon B, utilizado como agente letal entre 1940 y 1945, solรญa producir manchas azules en las paredes de las cรกmaras de gas debido a una reacciรณn quรญmica con el ladrillo y el mortero. Dichas manchas aรบn son muy visibles en las estructuras de Majdanek. El compuesto de cianuro y hierro de estas manchas es quรญmicamente idรฉntico al pigmento del pintor, conocido como Azul de Prusia. — Yisgai Jusidman

_________________________________

In my Prussian Blue series, I address the Holocaust in painting by seeking to generate the pictorial impression of a silence as solemn and forthright as it is eloquent, thus furnishing an alternative to the fatalistic strictures that have stifled the production of works dealing with this subject.

Prussian blue paint: The Zyklon B product that was used as a killing agent from 1940 through 1945 often produced blue stains on the walls of the gas chambers by way of a chemical reaction with the brick and mortar. Such stains are still very much apparent in the structures at Majdanek. The cyanide-iron compound of these stains is chemically identical to the painterโ€™s pigment known as Prussian Blue.

Nascida na Argentina, filha de imigrantes judeus poloneses, em 1933, Anna Bella Geiger vive e trabalha no Rio de Janeiro. De 1950 a 1953, Geiger frequentou aulas gratuitas de desenho, pintura e gravura no Instituto Fayga Ostrower, onde seu trabalho tendeu ร  abstraรงรฃo. Viajou para Nova York para estudar histรณria da arte e sociologia na Universidade de Nova York e no Metropolitan Museum of Art; Geiger retornou ao Rio de Janeiro em 1954. Ao longo da dรฉcada de 1960, continuou a receber prรชmios em exposiรงรตes nacionais. Em 1964, Geiger se desencantou com a abstraรงรฃo informal. Seu trabalho comeรงou a refletir as formas orgรขnicas do corpo. No final da dรฉcada de 1960, sentiu a necessidade de responder ao clima sociopolรญtico de seu paรญs. Participou de um boicote ร  10ยช Bienal de Sรฃo Paulo (1969) e empregou colagem e assemblage para explorar a identidade brasileira e as noรงรตes de periferia. Cartografia e topografia logo se tornaram motivos importantes em sua obra. Na dรฉcada de 1980, seu interesse pela pintura foi renovado, enquanto na dรฉcada de 1990 ela retornou ร  escultura multimรญdia com formas cartogrรกficas. Em 1987, em parceria com o artista, crรญtico e professor Fernando Cocchiarale, foi coautora de Abstraรงรฃo Geomรฉtrica e Informal: A Vanguarda Brasileira nos Anos 50. Geiger participou de bienais internacionais realizadas em Sรฃo Paulo, Veneza (1980), Havana (1997) e Porto Alegre, Brasil (1997).

Born in Argentina to Polish Jewish immigrant parents in 1933, Anna Bella Geiger lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. From 1950 to 1953 Geiger attended free classes in drawing, painting, and engraving at Instituto Fayga Ostrower, where her work tended toward abstraction. She traveled to New York to study art history and sociology at New York University and the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Geiger returned to Rio de Janeiro in 1954, Through the 1960s she continued to receive awards at national exhibitions. By 1964 Geiger became disenchanted with informal abstraction. Her work began to reflect the body’s organic forms. By the late 1960s she felt the need to respond to the sociopolitical climate of her country. She participated in a boycott of the 10th Bienal de Sรฃo Paulo (1969) and employed collage and assemblage to explore Brazilian identity and notions of the periphery. Cartography and topography soon became important motifs in her work. The 1980s saw her renewed interest in painting, while in the 1990s she returned to multimedia sculpture of cartographic forms. In 1987, with the artist, critic, and professor Fernando Cocchiarale, she coauthored Geometric and Informal Abstractionism: The Brazilian Avant-garde in the Fifties. Geiger participated in international biennials held in Sรฃo Paulo Venice (1980), Havana (1997), and Porto Alegre, Brazil (1997). She received a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (1982) and won several awards, including the Bolsa da Fundaรงรฃo Vitae, Prรชmio SESC Rio de Fomento ร  Cultura (2010), and Prรชmio Ibram de Arte Contemporรขnea (2011). — Courtney Smith

Wolfgang Paalen — Artista judรญo-austraรญco-mexicano/Austrian Mexican Jewish Artist–Surrealist importante/Important Surrealist

Wolfgang Paalen

__________________________________________

Las pinturas, dibujos y escritos teรณricos del artista judรญo nacido en Austria, Wolfgang Paalen, fueron impulsados โ€‹โ€‹por una poderosa fascinaciรณn por la relaciรณn entre el arte, la ciencia y la magia. Despuรฉs de unirse al grupo surrealista de Parรญs junto a su esposa, Alice Rahon, en 1935, Paalen quedรณ impresionado por las posibilidades creativas del automatismo, o la realizaciรณn de acciones sin pensamiento consciente. Este principio se expresรณ mรกs notablemente en su tรฉcnica fumage, en la que se utiliza humo de vela para hacer impresiones en un soporte preparado con pintura al รณleo. Las formas ondulantes e impredecibles que resultaron de esta tรฉcnica hablaron de la inclinaciรณn de Paalen por aprovechar el potencial creativo del azar, evidente en su obra Lโ€™autophage (Fulgurites) (1938). En 1939, Paalen dejรณ Parรญs con Rahon y la fotรณgrafa Eva Sulzer para viajar por el noroeste del Pacรญfico antes de viajar a Mรฉxico. Tras el estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se establecieron juntos de forma permanente en la Ciudad de Mรฉxico, donde rรกpidamente se unieron a un grupo de innovadores artistas internacionales, entre ellos Diego Rivera, Manuel รlvarez Bravo y Leonora Carrington. En 1940, Paalen organizรณ la Exposiciรณn Internacional del Surrealismo en la Ciudad de Mรฉxico con Andrรฉ Breton, reuniendo las obras de arte y las ideas de sus colegas surrealistas entonces dispersos por la guerra. Sin embargo, en 1942 Paalen rompiรณ con los surrealistas, publicando su mordaz manifiesto “Adiรณs al surrealismo” en el primer nรบmero de su ambiciosa revista interdisciplinaria Dyn (1942-1944). Con esta separaciรณn pรบblica de los surrealistas, formรณ un nuevo grupo artรญstico experimental en el รrea de la Bahรญa de San Francisco con los pintores Gordon Onslow Ford y Lee Mullican y la escritora Jacqueline Johnson. Llamรกndose a sรญ mismos Dynaton, estos artistas buscaron redefinir lo posible a travรฉs de una exploraciรณn de la mente inconsciente y las culturas pasadas.

__________________________________________

The paintings, drawings and theoretical writings of Austrian-born Jewish artist Wolfgang Paalen were driven by a powerful fascination with the relationship between art, science, and magic. After joining the Paris Surrealist group alongside his wife, Alice Rahon, in 1935, Paalen was struck by the creative possibilities of automatism, or performing actions without conscious thought. This principle was most notably expressed in his technique fumage, in which candle smoke is used to make impressions on an oil-paint-primed support. The billowing, unpredictable forms that resulted from this technique spoke to Paalenโ€™s penchant for harnessing the creative potential for chance, evident in his work Lโ€™autophage (Fulgurites) (1938). In 1939, Paalen left Paris with Rahon and photographer Eva Sulzer to travel through the Pacific Northwest before journeying to Mexico. Following the outbreak of World War II, they settled together permanently in Mexico City where they quickly joined a group of innovative international artists, including Diego RiveraManuel รlvarez Bravo, and Leonora Carrington. In 1940, Paalen organized the International Exhibition of Surrealism in Mexico City with Andrรฉ Breton, bringing together the artwork and ideas of his Surrealist colleagues then scattered by the war. However, by 1942 Paalen broke with the Surrealists, publishing his biting manifesto โ€œFarewell to Surrealismโ€ in the first issue of his ambitious, interdisciplinary journal Dyn (1942โ€“44). With this public separation from the Surrealists, he formed a new experimental artistic group in the San Francisco Bay Area with painters Gordon Onslow Ford and Lee Mullican and writer Jacqueline Johnson. Calling themselves Dynaton, these artists sought to redefine the possible through an exploration of the unconscious mind and past cultures.

Biografรญa

Nacido en Buenos Aires, in 1914, Mauricio Lasansky es uno de los pocos artistas modernos que han limitado su obra casi exclusivamente a los medios grรกficos. Gracias a sus tempranas contribuciones al desarrollo de las tรฉcnicas grรกficas y a su dedicaciรณn al grabado, Lasansky es considerado un precursor en la evoluciรณn de las artes grรกficas como forma de arte crรญtico y ha sido reconocido como uno de los “Padres del Grabado Americano del Siglo XX”.

En 1936, a los veintidรณs aรฑos, ya era director de la Escuela Libre de Bellas Artes de Villa Marรญa, Cรณrdoba, Argentina. En 1943, Lasansky recibiรณ la prestigiosa Beca Guggenheim, con la que viajรณ a Estados Unidos y estudiรณ la colecciรณn de grabados del Museo Metropolitano de Arte. Esta oportunidad no solo le proporcionรณ un vasto conocimiento sobre grabados y grabadores, sino que tambiรฉn le brindรณ la oportunidad de conocer y trabajar con varios maestros europeos que habรญan huido a Estados Unidos durante la guerra. Para 1952, no solo habรญa recibido numerosos reconocimientos, premios y galardones, y contaba con una impresionante colecciรณn de exposiciones, sino que tambiรฉn se habรญa consolidado como ciudadano estadounidense.

Durante la dรฉcada de 1940, el interรฉs por el grabado como arte se revitalizรณ gracias a los talleres de artes grรกficas de la Administraciรณn de Progreso de Obras (WPA), y muchos artistas continuaron explorando el mรฉtodo tras la suspensiรณn de los proyectos de la WPA. El mรกs importante de estos estudios fue el Atelier 17 de Nueva York, fundado por Stanley William Hayter. El suyo fue el primer taller estadounidense independiente creado para la experimentaciรณn exclusiva con el proceso de grabado calcogrรกfico. Gracias a la labor de Hayter, el estudio captรณ la atenciรณn de artistas de todo el paรญs. Muchos de estos artistas se conocen actualmente como la Escuela de Nueva York. Estos artistas adoptaron el expresionismo abstracto como medio de expresiรณn estilรญstica y su obra transformรณ radicalmente el curso del grabado calcogrรกfico en Estados Unidos.

Muchos artistas, incluyendo a Lasansky, trabajaron extensamente en el Atelier 17 formulando nuevos mรฉtodos y creando nuevas tรฉcnicas tanto para sus temas como para sus grabados. Posteriormente, varios fueron invitados a establecer talleres de grabado en departamentos de arte universitarios de todo el paรญs. Uno de los primeros artistas en aceptar este reto fue Mauricio Lasansky, quien fundรณ el importante taller de grabado en la Universidad de Iowa. Hasta el dรญa de hoy, sirve de modelo para numerosos departamentos universitarios de grabado, dirigidos por muchos de sus antiguos alumnos.

La transmisiรณn de tรฉcnicas e ideologรญas consolidadas sobre tรฉcnicas innovadoras de grabado, a travรฉs de generaciones de profesores y alumnos, marca el legado del Atelier 17. Y es Lasansky, una de las primeras generaciones de estos grabadores, quien ha influido en el desarrollo del grabado en Estados Unidos.

Conocido sobre todo por sus grabados a gran escala, en los que utiliza mรบltiples planchas y gamas cromรกticas completas, Lasansky combina una amplia gama de tรฉcnicas grรกficas, incluyendo el aguafuerte, la punta seca, el aguatinta y el grabado. A lo largo de su evoluciรณn estilรญstica, ha creado elocuentes evocaciones figurativas, coloridas, frescas y espontรกneas. Sus obras tempranas y tardรญas demuestran que su imaginerรญa ha abordado constantemente elementos que han experimentado cambios y expansiones a lo largo de su creaciรณn. Por lo tanto, el tema de su arte es tan importante como el aspecto tรฉcnico de sus grabados.

Los retratos de Lasansky se presentan como ideales humanรญsticos en comparaciรณn con las figuras deshumanizadas que aparecen en sus otros grabados. Muchos de sus retratos comienzan en un formato individual, pero en muchas ocasiones la figura idealizada se degenera y se presenta en un espacio grรกfico en lugar de pictรณrico. Tiene una especial consideraciรณn por el espectador, ya que retrata la imagen dentro de su espacio.

Lasansky se ha dedicado a explorar las posibilidades expresivas de las artes grรกficas. Ha acumulado un conjunto de grabados considerados entre los mรกs impactantes e impactantes del arte contemporรกneo. Ha contribuido significativamente a consolidar el grabado como una forma de arte significativa y crucial del siglo XX. Y, como resultado, se ha convertido en uno de los primeros de una generaciรณn de importantes grabadores en enseรฑar a decenas de estudiantes, quienes a su vez enseรฑan a decenas de generaciones futuras en este paรญs. Por todas estas razones, se le considera uno de los “Padres del Grabado Americano del Siglo XX”.

Lasansky ha recibido cinco Becas Guggenheim, seis Doctorados Honoris Causa en Artes y numerosos premios y distinciones especiales. Su obra estรก representada en mรกs de cien colecciones pรบblicas, incluyendo prรกcticamente todos los principales museos de Estados Unidos. Reconocido internacionalmente, ha expuesto en Amรฉrica del Norte y del Sur, Europa y Rusia. Ya jubilado de la Universidad de Iowa, sigue siendo una inspiraciรณn para los artistas por sus contribuciones, la riqueza e intensidad de sus superficies impresas y su estilo profundamente personal.

Biography

Born in Buenos Aires, in 1914, Mauricio Lasansky is one of the few modern artists who have limited their works almost exclusively to the graphic media. Due to his early contributions in the development of graphic techniques and his dedication to printmaking, Lasansky is considered to be a forerunner in the evolution of the graphic arts as a critical art form and has become recognized as one of the “Fathers of 20th Century American Printmaking.”

In 1936, at the age of twenty-two, he had already become the director of the Free Fine Arts School, in Villa Maria, Cordoba, Argentina. In 1943, Lasansky was offered the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in which he came to the United States and studied the print collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This opportunity not only afforded him a wealth of knowledge about prints and printmakers but created an opportunity for him to be exposed to and work with a number of European masters who had fled to the United States during wartimes. By 1952, he had not only received a great deal of recognition, prizes and awards, and had an impressive line of exhibitions, but also had established himself as an American citizen.

During the 1940’s, the interest in printmaking as a fine art was revitalized by the Works Progress Administration graphic arts workshops and many artists continued to explore the method after the WPA projects were discontinued. The most important of these studios was the New York Atelier 17 established by Stanley William Hayter. His was the first independent American workshop developed for exclusive experimentation of the intaglio process of printmaking. Through Hayter’s efforts, the studio gained the attention of artists from around the country. Many of these artists are now referred to as the New York School. These artists adopted Abstract Expressionism as a means of stylistic expression and their work radically altered the course of intaglio printmaking in America.

Many artists, including Lasansky, worked extensively at the Atelier 17 formulating new methods and creating new techniques for their subjects as well as their prints. Several were later invited to develop print-shops in university art departments around the country. One of the first artists to accept this challenge was Mauricio Lasansky. He established the vital printmaking workshop at the University of Iowa. To this day, it serves as a model for numerous other university printmaking departments led by many of Lasansky’s former students.

It is the passing down of established techniques and ideologies about innovative printmaking techniques from generations of these teachers and students that marks the legacy of Atelier 17. And, it is Lasansky, one of the first generations of these printmakers, who has influenced the course of printmaking in the United States.

Best known for large scale prints in which he uses multiple plates and full ranges of color, Lasansky combines a spectrum of graphic techniques including etching, drypoint, aquatint and engraving. Throughout his stylistic evolution, he has created eloquent figural statements that are colorful, fresh and spontaneous. His early and late works show that his imagery has consistently dealt with elements which have undergone change and expansion as the work was created. Therefore, the subject of his art is as important as the technical aspect of his printmaking.

Lasansky’s portraits appear as humanistic ideals when compared to the dehumanized figures that appear in his other prints. Many of his portraits begin in an individual format, but many times the idealized figure degenerates and is presented in graphic rather than pictorial space. He has a special regard for the spectator, as he portrays the image within the viewer’s space.

Lasansky has devoted himself to exploring the expressive possibilities of graphic arts. He has amassed a body of prints considered to be some of the most powerful and impressive in contemporary art. He has contributed significantly in establishing printmaking as a meaningful and critical art form of the 20th century. And, as a result, he has become one of the first in a generation of important printmakers to teach scores of students, who in turn are teaching scores of future generations in this country. For all these reasons, he is considered to be one of the “Fathers of 20th Century American Printmaking.”

Lasansky has been the recipient of a total of five Guggenheim Fellowships, six honorary Doctorate of Arts degrees and numerous prizes and special honors. His work is represented in more than one hundred public collections including virtually every major museum in the United States. Internationally recognized, he has been exhibited throughout North and South America, Europe and Russia. Now retired from the University of Iowa, he continues to be an inspiration to artists for his contributions, his richly and intensely printed surfaces, and his highly personal style.

Yaco Nowens was born in Buenos Aires in 1938. He studied at the Manuel Belgrano National School of Fine Arts and in the workshops of Josรฉ Maltz and Mรฉndez Terrero until 1965. He worked as a draftsman for Clarรญn. He was an art theorist and co-editor of the visual arts magazine ร“leo y Mรกrmol together with Teresa Pociello. His first exhibitions were as a draftsman, alongside Quino, Garaycochea and Landrรบ. In 1964 or 1965 he began to receive invitations and Renรฉ Morรณn, his teacher and guide, forced him to exhibit and that’s how he began. He gave national and international lectures. He is a member of the Sociรฉtรฉ des Auteurs dans les Arts Graphiques et Plastiques in Paris. In 1972, invited by the OAS, he traveled to the United States. He exhibited in Argentina, the United States, Israel, Korea, Venezuela, Spain, Ecuador, France and Cuba. โ€œHis work from the 1960s was clearly confessional, from an expressionist perspective. Later, impressed by the informalists of the Grupo del Paso in Spain, Pollock and Kooning, his work remained within a lyrical abstraction that allows us to guess the gesture of the brushstroke, keeping the whole within compositions of great geometric balance and akin to the early stages of cubism. With bright colours and lines that sometimes intersect, to allude to a marked and certain landscape figurationโ€, (Rafael Squirru). Also, under the direction of the visual artist Yaco Nowens, the Jewish and militant newspaper Nueva Presencia continued to be published from 1987 to 1993, the year in which Di Presse went bankrupt definitively.

Nessim Bassan 
โ€‹Panamรก, b. 1950

_____________________________

Nessim Bassan naciรณ en la ciudad de Panamรก en 1950. Bassan comenzรณ a exponer desde muy temprano, en 1968, donde obtuvo un gran รฉxito. Su arte fue admirado y valorado por reconocidos crรญticos de arte y curadores como Thomas Messer del Museo Solomon R. Guggenheim de Nueva York y Lester Cooke de la Galerรญa Nacional de Arte de Washington DC. En 1970, Josรฉ Gรณmez-Sicre, lo invitรณ a exponer en la Organizaciรณn de Estados Americanos en Washington DC, lo que posteriormente propiciรณ su participaciรณn en la Bienal de Sao Paulo de 1981. Despuรฉs de este sorprendente comienzo en su carrera artรญstica, se tomรณ un descanso del mundo del arte, dedicรณ su tiempo a su familia y comenzรณ a pintar por sรญ mismo. A finales de la dรฉcada de 1990, comenzรณ a pintar todos los dรญas y dedicรณ plenamente su tiempo a su arte. . Comenzรณ a explorar mรกs a fondo el arte cinรฉtico, incorporando madera y pintura. Su visiรณn de la cinรฉtica tiene una fuerte estรฉtica abstracta geomรฉtrica moderna, que da como resultado cientos de capas de pintura y texturas entrelazadas, que evocan fantasรญas conceptuales. Esta tรฉcnica refleja ademรกs una perfecta armonรญa entre mediciones matemรกticas controladas, oscilando entre la gravedad y las ilusiones รณpticas que son aparentemente simples pero intrincadas. El atractivo de las infinitas composiciones de Bassan es que son delicadas y elegantes ilusiones รณpticas, con un impecable equilibrio y precisiรณn visual. Nessim Bassan tuvo una importante exposiciรณn que iniciรณ en noviembre de 2022, en el Museo de Arte Contemporรกneo de Panamรก, y viajรณ al Museo Nacional de Identidad de Honduras, el Museo de Arte de El Salvador finalizรณ en el Museo de Arte Moderno Carlos Mรฉrida en Guatemala. . El artista vive y trabaja en Panamรก.

Nessim Bassan was born in Panamรก City in 1950. Bassan started exhibiting very early on, in 1968, where he found great success. His art was admired and valued by renowned art critics and curators such as Thomas Messer from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and Lester Cooke from the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. In 1970, Josรฉ Gรณmez-Sicre, invited him to exhibit at the Organization of American States in Washington DC, which later lead to his participation in the 1981 Sao Paulo Biennial. After this astonishing start to his artistic career, he took a break from the art world and dedicated his time to his family, and began painting for himself.During the late 1990s, he started painting every day, and fully dedicated his time to his art. He started to further explore kinetic art, incorporating wood and paint. His take on kinetics has a strong modern geometric abstract aesthetic, resulting in hundreds of layers of paint and interwoven textures, evoking conceptual fantasies. This technique further reflects a perfect harmony between controlled mathematical measurements, oscillating between gravity and optical illusions that are seemingly simple yet intricate. The allurement in Bassan’s infinite compositions is that they are delicate and elegant optical illusions, with an impeccable balance and visual precision. Nessim Bassan had a significant exhibition that began in November of 2022, at the Contemporary Art Museum in Panamรก, and traveled\ to the National Identity Museum of Honduras, The Museum of Art of El Salvador endedย  at the Museum of Modern Art Carlos Mรฉrida in Guatemala. The artist lives and works in Panamรก.ย

Postgraduate in Information Sciences from the University of Haifa. M.Ed. in Language Education in Multicultural Societies, from the Levinsky Teachers Institute.

I studied Art in the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy and in workshops of notable masters in Israel such as Iosef Hirsh, Dan Kriger and Aharon April. Now I am learning Japanese calligraphy with the Japanese Zen master Ishii Katsuo.

Me quedo en el contorno de la ropa que me abraza.

El perfume que sucede a mi ducha

invita

a la desnudez.

El aroma de pomelo seco incita

my nakedness.

I see myself

“De adolescente me conmovรญan las pinturas prehistรณricas. Pensรฉ que lo que llamamos arte debe ser esencial al ser humano, y decidรญ dedicarme a รฉl. Me formรฉ en el taller de Eva Garcรญa. Por aquella รฉpoca Max Ernst y Paul Klee eran los artistas que mรกs admiraba. Investiguรฉ tรฉcnicas y materiales. Fuรญ encontrando aquellos con los que estaba en consonancia. Paralelamente estudiรฉ el pensamiento de India en la Universidad del Salvador. A mediados de los 80 comencรฉ a practicar meditaciรณn budista y yoga; mรกs adelante me formรฉ como instructora. Me acerquรฉ a los teรณricos, artistas y filรณsofos del arte contemporรกneo. Todo esto modificรณ tanto mi forma de producciรณn como la obra. El uso de tรฉcnicas automรกticas y la influencia del surrealismo fueron cediendo su lugar, surgiรณ otra actitud. En mi taller entro en รญntima relaciรณn conmigo misma, en un espacio silencioso, de tiempos pausados. Me interesan la posibilidad de evoluciรณn del ser humano, el Tiempo, la Libertad. Mi obra recorre distintas disciplinas: pintura, dibujo, monocopia, relieves, objetos, alguna instalaciรณn. Hacia finales de los 80 comencรฉ a producir libros de artista. La mayorรญa de ellos son ejemplares รบnicos, si bien he hecho tambiรฉn pequeรฑas ediciones. Trabajรฉ en diversos formatos: libro-objeto, rollos, libros intervenidos, entre otros”.

Mรณnica Goldstein was born 1953 and works in Buenos Aires. Since 1976, she has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions, both in Argentina and in the rest of the world.

“As a teenager I was touched by prehistoric paintings. I thought that which we call art had to be essential to humans, and so I decided to dedicate myself to it. I studied with the artist and art teacher Eva Garcรญa. By that time, Max Ernst and Paul Klee were the artists I admired the most. I researched techniques and materials. I found those I was in tune with. At the same time, I studied Indian thought at Universidad del Salvador. In the mid-eighties, I started practicing Buddhist meditation and yoga, and later I trained as an instructor.I became closer to the theorists, artists and philosophers of contemporary art. All this changed both my way of production and the work itself. The use of automatic techniques and the influence of surrealism gradually lost ground and a different attitude emerged. In my atelier, I establish an intimate relationship with myself, in a quiet space with slower times. I am interested in the potential for evolution of the human being, Time, Freedom. My production runs across different disciplines: painting, drawing, monoprint, reliefs, objects, some installations. Towards the end of the 1980s, I also began to produce artistsโ€™ books. Most of my books are unique, but I have also published small editions. I have worked in a variety of formats โ€”book art objects, scrolls, intervention in books, among others.”

“La dificultad de definir quรฉ es un libro de artista me interesa. Cada vez que encuentro una definiciรณn al mismo tiempo surge una obra que la desborda. Hay una frase de un gran maestro de Budismo Tibetano, Lama Anagarika Govinda, que dice “La libertad no es indocilidad ni desenfreno, sino la expresiรณn de la ley interior de uno’. Creo que cada libro de artista logrado tiene un orden, una ley interior que lo sostiene.”

Carlos Kravetz comenta sobre su arte:

Me preocupa mostrar, aunque sea parcialmente, la realidad que me circunda, las cosas que me pasan a mรญ y a otros… Buenos Aires es un marco de fondo, pero que condiciona: la gente expresa de alguna manera la presiรณn a que la somete la vida en nuestra ciudad. Eso se percibe en cada gesto si observamos con atenciรณn. Me preocupa tambiรฉn el paso del tiempo, modificรกndonos. ะฃ exagerando nuestros valores o defectos. Y me preocupan la locura y ese espacio sutil entre ella y aquello considerado normal. Quiero mostrar eso sin ‘lavar’ mi obra, expresando plรกsticamente toda la belleza contenida en la fealdad, la vejez o la locura, que no es justamente la belleza clรกsica. Me interesa mostrar una parte de la realidad: dar mi aporte para que el arte estรฉ menos separado de la vida: no me interesa para nada un arte de especulaciรณn metafรญsica, sino de una reflexiรณn sobre lo cotidiano que permita que nos reconozcamos en รฉl; un arte que no se disocie devolviendo imรกgenes que no nos pertenecen. . .

Carlos Kravetz comments on his art:

I am concerned about showing, even partially, the reality that surrounds me, the things that happen to me and othersโ€ฆ Buenos Aires is a background setting, but one that conditions: people express in some way the pressure to which they are subjected by life in our city. This can be perceived in each gesture if we look carefully. I am also concerned about the passage of time, changing us, exaggerating our values โ€‹โ€‹or defects. And I am concerned about madness and that subtle space between it and what is considered normal. I want to show that without ‘washing’ my work, plastically expressing all the beauty contained in ugliness, old age or madness, which is not exactly classical beauty. I am interested in showing a part of reality: giving my contribution so that art is less separated from life: I am not at all interested in an art of metaphysical speculation, but rather a reflection on the everyday that allows us to recognize ourselves in it; an art that does not dissociate itself by returning images that do not belong to us. . .

“Zinger

Hallรฉ en el apartado de avisos fรบnebres del periรณdico en lรญnea que leรญa la siguiente necrolรณgica:  

โ€œCon la desapariciรณn fรญsica de Marga Dalla Ponte, a causa de una cruel enfermedad, el arte nacional pierde a una de sus mรกs seรฑeras representantes. Como docente ofreciรณ clases magistrales, condujo talleres, promoviรณ a nuevos valores con generosidad y el interรฉs puesto en revalidar tรญtulos para nuestro paรญs en el complejo mundo de las experiencias visuales. Retirada de las aulas y las exposiciones desde hacรญa aรฑos, fue  escasa la cantidad de gente que se convocรณ a despedir sus restos. Descanse en paz, maestra y amigaโ€.  

A continuaciรณn, se leรญa el siguiente texto:  

โ€œZelda Inger participa el fallecimiento de su dilecta amiga, puntal indeclinable en รฉpocas de triste memoria, y ruega una oraciรณn a su amada memoriaโ€.

Tenรญa pendiente una visita a Eugenia de Pritzker para comunicarle, entre otros puntos, que me disponรญa a dar por concluida la tarea de ordenar los archivos de don David, ya que en las nuevas condiciones me resultaba poco menos que imposible atender esta contingencia. Asimismo, me proponรญa exponerle algunos asuntos que la involucraban de manera directa. … La encontrรฉ, como era habitual, sentada en la cocina, apenas distraรญda su concentraciรณn en el televisor encendido.

-Me alegra que el cuadro te haya sido รบtil y remunerativo- dijo con cierto toque rencoroso no bien me vio entrar.

-Se equivoca. La idea no fue venderlo, todo lo contrario. Nos pareciรณ una manera de honrarlo a tantos aรฑos de su primera y รบnica exhibiciรณn. Sin contar la carga trรกgica que transmite, es muy bello. Habla muy bien de su creador, de sus habilidadesโ€ฆ Por otra parte, es suyo y puedo restituรญrselo cuando lo desee.

No contestรณ, se limitรณ a entregarme una larga mirada no exenta de atenciรณn.

-ยฟMe permite contarle una historia que no por breve no deja de ser dramรกtica?- Hizo un ademรกn con la mano como si el asunto careciera de importancia-. Habla de una joven llamada Zelda que deseaba dedicar su vida al arte pero encontrรณ la fรฉrrea oposiciรณn de su padre, quien tenรญa otros planes no sรณlo para ella sino tambiรฉn para el resto de sus hijos. Sin embargo, al principio tolerรณ sus aspiraciones de convertirse en una artista, seguramente con el convencimiento de que cuando creciera  abandonarรญa  esos disparates y retornarรญa al buen camino. Fue todo en vano.

-Ignoro a quiรฉn te referรญs โ€“esbozรณ como protesta-. Nunca conocรญ a esas personas.

Continuรฉ sin reparar en su interrupciรณn:

-Esta diferencia alcanzรณ su desenlace cuando estallรณ la Guerra de los Seis Dรญas entre el joven Estado de Israel contra poderosos ejรฉrcitos de los paรญses vecinos. Las primeras jornadas estuvieron marcadas por la incertidumbre, la angustiaโ€ฆ Revivieron los fantasmas que apenas treinta aรฑos antes condujeron a los campos de concentraciรณn, al exterminio de nuestros hermanos, a la horrible visiรณn de contemplar a los judรญos arrojados al mar, como azuzaban los enemigos. Seguramente en el alma sensible de Zelda se desatรณ una tormenta de sentimientos. Desesperaciรณn, temor extremo, congojaโ€ฆ Entonces recurriรณ a la รบnica herramienta de que disponรญa, que le permitรญa expresarse con entera libertad. Encerrada en su cuarto, en veinticuatro horas de trabajo intenso, febril, surgiรณ la mujer del retrato, esa mujer que personificaba el horror vivido por nuestro pueblo a lo largo del siglo XX. Me imagino que el tรญtulo emergiรณ como una epifania y, es cierto, tuvo toda la intenciรณn de provocar, incitar una respuesta emocional: โ€œNuestra Seรฑora de Auschwitzโ€.

El rostro de Eugenia se ensombrecรญa cada vez mรกs. Ya no reflejaba ironรญa o desprecio, sino una combinaciรณn de ira y pesar.

-Fue entonces cuando Zelda dijo: โ€œMedia Humanidad se apiada por la crucifixiรณn de un judรญo y muy pocos por la masacre de tantos millonesโ€.

Sus ojos se abrieron desmesuradamente por la sorpresa. No obstante, se obstinaba en mantenerse callada. Empecรฉ a dudar de la certeza de mis argumentos. Un punto de exasperaciรณn tiรฑรณ el rostro de la mujer; un instante despuรฉs descargรณ su rencor.

-No entiendo por quรฉ me contรกs esta fรกbula, me resulta por completo extraรฑa โ€“dijo con acritud e intentando minimizar su impacto.

-Por favor, Eugenia, dรฉjeme terminar y despuรฉs le explico. La respuesta fue un silencio beligerante que no significaba aceptaciรณn sino  condescendencia.

-A pesar de la realizaciรณn de la obra โ€“proseguรญ-, el objetivo de manifestar su mensaje no se hubiese cumplido sin haber logrado exponerla al pรบblico. Es entonces cuando aparece Reina Benazar, la prima de la madre de Zelda, propietaria de una galerรญa de arte. Sin consultar con nadie, tomรณ la decisiรณn de llevarle una fotografรญa del retrato -imagen que pude contemplar- y esperar su juicio. Supongo que la pintura la conmoviรณ y aceptรณ de inmediato ponerla a la consideraciรณn del pรบblico. Presentรณ una รบnica objeciรณn: el tรญtulo. Probablemente evaluรณ que era mejor no provocar y si bien Israel habรญa logrado imponerse en la guerra, subsistรญan sentimientos negativos. Reina fue quien propuso โ€œLa dama de la Shoรกโ€. Para una artista novel que tenรญa ante sรญ la magnรญfica oportunidad de mostrar un trabajo de su autorรญa, tal sugerencia no generรณ ningรบn litigio. Estaba obnubilada con la posibilidad de efectuar su primera muestra, por lo tanto no deseaba arruinar la oferta. Estoy convencido de que ella hoy se plantarรญa y lucharรญa por imponer sus principios. Entonces, medio siglo atrรกs, joven e inexperta acatรณ la determinaciรณn que le imponรญan con el fin de no perder una ocasiรณn propicia.

-Al enterarse de la propuesta de Reina y, peor todavรญa, la respuesta positiva que recibiรณ, la declaraciรณn de guerra quedรณ ratificada. El doctor Ingerbrock no aceptรณ ni una ni la otra y prohibiรณ a su hija todo movimiento tendiente a ese fin. En pocas palabras, Zelda se sintiรณ inflamada por el viento de la rebeldรญa y dejรณ atrรกs el hogar familiar. Se impuso un ostracismo feroz con el propรณsito de castigar la intransigencia de la que era vรญctima, aunque con este proceder castigaba  con el mismo golpe a su madre y hermanos.

De esta manera, sola en el  mundo, lejos de sus vรญnculos mรกs cercanos, se hizo presente la imperiosa necesidad de un techo que la cobijara y, por quรฉ no, de un cรกlido abrazo que la contuviera. La rรฉplica a esta inquietud me la proporcionรณ la participaciรณn necrolรณgica que Zelda Inger publicรณ con motivo del fallecimiento de Magda Dalla Ponte donde califica a su amiga de, tratarรฉ de mencionar la cita textual, โ€œpuntal indeclinable en รฉpocas de triste memoriaโ€. Me preguntรฉ cuรกl podrรญa ser esa desgraciada circunstancia y cuรกl el lazo que vinculara a dos mujeres tan diferentes que de hecho ni siquiera tenรญan contacto en la actualidad. La respuesta, entonces, debรญa estar en el pasado de ambas y en lo que una vez compartieron. La pintura, el arte, la insatisfacciรณn por los cรณdigos patriarcales… Marga entonces fue mรกs que la maestra, la consejera. Fue quien la recibiรณ cuando abandonรณ la casa paterna. ..

-Resta ahora considerar la llegada de un nuevo personaje: David Pritzker. โ€“Eugenia me mirรณ fijamente, anhelante por saber con quรฉ testimonio avalarรญa mis deducciones-. David y Cecilia se conocieron por intermedio de los hermanos de ella. Aunque era mayor, David, estudiante de abogacรญa, sentรญa una afinidad ideolรณgica con los otros dos debido al sionismo, el socialismo, el nuevo Estado judรญo. Eran comunes las discusiones pero al final la sangre no llegaba al rรญo, como se dice. Ella se mantenรญa al margen de esas cuestiones terrenales imbuida en sus afanes artรญsticos. Sin embargo, entre ambos comenzรณ a crecer una afectividad que trascendรญa la polรญtica, el afรกn de arreglar el mundo.

โ€œDavid se enterรณ de la novedad por Israel y Moisรฉs, devastados por la ausencia de su hermana. Supongo que hasta se ofreciรณ a mediar entre padre e hija para considerar su regreso. Sin embargo, ninguno de los dos estuvo dispuesto a resignar sus posiciones. No tengo dudas que el enamorado futuro abogado moviรณ cielo y tierra hasta que finalmente obtuvo el dato, ignoro quiรฉn se lo proveyรณ si bien puedo suponer que el soplo vino de alguien muy prรณximo a ellos, que la dueรฑa de sus suspiros se hospedaba en  casa de Marga. A pesar de sus reiterados pedidos para que la jovencita desistiera de su actitud, no se rindiรณ. Asรญ, las visitas se hicieron habituales, siempre bajo la supervisiรณn de la inquisitiva y desconfiada chaperona, y la exigencia de discreciรณn absoluta si รฉl deseaba continuar con ellas.

Por primera vez en mi ya extenso monรณlogo advertรญ una distensiรณn en los apretados rasgos del rostro de la anciana. Habรญa tocado una fibra muy รญntima; supongo que los recuerdos habrรกn caรญdo en cascada sobre su atribulado espรญritu.

-Hay ocasiones en que actuamos de manera impulsiva y entonces resulta muy difรญcil volver atrรกs โ€“dijo en voz baja, casi como un pensamiento hacia su interior. Era la resquebrajadura que esperaba en la coraza, una concesiรณn que abrรญa  nuevos e inesperados caminos.

Aguardรฉ a que ese nuevo estado se consolidara, una evoluciรณn que se desplegara en forma natural. La mujer me mirรณ desde una nueva perspectiva, casi dirรญa liberada de una prisiรณn que ella misma habรญa tejido alrededor suyo, representada por una nueva luz en sus ojos, mรกs diรกfana.

-ยฟCรณmo supiste el gesto de Marga? โ€“Toda traza de rencor habรญa desaparecido; ahora habรญa serenidad en su voz, como si se hubiese desprendido de un peso cargado desde siempre.

-Por el texto de la necrolรณgica de su fallecimiento. Confiรณ en que ocultando su verdadera identidad tras nombres que no son los usuales en usted esquivarรญa la atenciรณn de los indiscretos que nunca faltan. El tiempo oculta todo, pero los detalles siempre estรกn allรญ y cuando menos se los espera, regresan.

-No tuve en cuenta la fina percepciรณn de Marcos Opatoshu. โ€“No hubo cinismo ni malicia en esas palabras, fue un aserto pronunciado al pasar.

-Por fin, David recibiรณ su tรญtulo y fue entonces cuando le propuso matrimonio. Frente a esta realidad se disipaba cualquier otra consideraciรณn.  Si no aceptaba, su vida transcurrirรญa siempre oculta y quizรก sin ninguna otra posibilidad de constituir una familia; la otra, volver a casa y rogar el perdรณn del padre vaya a saber a quรฉ precio. De esta manera, el pretendiente obtuvo el consentimiento con una condiciรณn de hierro. La ceremonia serรญa discreta, restringida a unos pocos invitados de su familia. Seguramente, el novio pensรณ que se presentaba una excelente ocasiรณn para limar todas las asperezas e iniciar su vida en comรบn sin deudas. A pesar de los requerimientos planteados, aceptรณ. Sin dudas, no era la boda que ninguno de los esperaban celebrar algรบn dรญa, pero, como se dice, era lo que habรญa.

Una breve pausa dio pรกbulo a que ella se hiciera cargo del curso del relato.

-Nos casamos en un shill pequeรฑo de la periferia, con una jupรก[1] encima nuestro y el nรบmero exacto de hombres para conformar un miniรกn[2]. Estoy segura de que David aleccionรณ a su familia para que no pregunten nada acerca de la ausencia de la mรญa, cosa que siempre le agradecรญ si bien รฉl jamรกs me hizo comentario alguno. Al terminar la ceremonia, nos dirigimos a una sala pequeรฑa donde hicimos un lejaim[3]. โ€œUn par de dรญas antes nos casamos por civil y otra vez David se encargรณ de los detalles.  Y ahรญ terminรณ todo.

-ยฟCuรกndo decidiรณ cambiarse el nombre Cecilia o Zelda por Eugenia?

-En el momento de redactar la ketubah[4]. Fue una especie de homenaje a una tรญa postiza que siempre apoyรณ mi vocaciรณn. Muriรณ antes del comienzo de este desastre.

-En ese documento deben asentarse los nombres de los padres del novio y de la novia, asรญ como los testigos.

-No sรฉ. De los detalles se encargรณ David. Creo que hablรณ con un rabino amigo. Por otra parte, mi padrino fue un gran amigo suyo. Segismundo, el librero.

-Tambiรฉn es mi amigo.

โ€“Ahora comprendรญ su reticencia a abundar en detalles sobre la cuestiรณn.

-Lo sรฉ. Siempre le agradecรญ su discreciรณn. Es una buena persona.

Un descanso marcรณ el final de ese capรญtulo que debiรณ haber sido muy amargo en su vida. Fue un silencio breve, cargado de emotividad, sin resentimientos. Se la veรญa agitada, intranquila, quizรก ansiosa por llegar al final de estas memorias.

-ยฟSe siente bien, Cecilia? ยฟQuiere que dejemos acรก? โ€“A propรณsito la llamรฉ por su nombre real. Ella se dio cuenta y sentรญ que me lo agradecรญa con sus ojos hรบmedos por la emociรณn. Finalmente habรญa marcado el lรญmite con ese pasado inpiadoso.

-No, querido. Sigamos. Tal vez esta confesiรณn ejerza un efecto sanador, despuรฉs de todo. Por favor, alcanzame un vaso de agua. Realicรฉ su pedido. Bebiรณ a pequeรฑos sorbos, como degustando la frescura y el sabor del lรญquido.

-ยฟCรณmo siguieron adelante? โ€“dije una vez que me asegurรฉ de que habรญa recuperado sus condiciones.

-Alquilamos un pequeรฑo departamento alejado del centro. Yo permanecรญa encerrada la mayor parte del dรญa por temor a que alguien me reconociera. David empezรณ a trabajar como apoderado de una cooperativa de crรฉditos y tambiรฉn en La Voz Israelita en una vacante temporal, ad honorem. Era lo que mรกs le gustaba. Tiempo despuรฉs, la vacante se hizo permanente y reforzรณ nuestra economรญa. Pudimos mudarnos aquรญ con la esperanza de recibir a los hijos que vendrรญan en un lugar propio. Sin embargo, nunca llegaron. Luego de tantos aรฑos, sigo creyendo que fue el castigo a mi soberbia. Pero en ese momento estaba como ciega. Supe del fallecimiento de mi padre y le neguรฉ mi รบltimo homenaje; tambiรฉn partiรณ mi mamรก, a la que siempre reprochรฉ su pasividad, su desinterรฉs en defender mi causa, insignificante causa egoรญsta.

-Creo que ya debe dejar de responsabilizarse por todo, perdonarse. โ€“La interrumpรญ para evitar la cadena de pesados eslabones de la propia recriminaciรณn.

-Fue tan difรญcil, Marcos. Y el pobre David a mi lado, soportando los embates de mis enojos. No dudo que te habrรก llamado la atenciรณn la dureza con que te contรฉ pormenores de la relaciรณn de David con Zelda.

โ€“Cierto, asรญ fue-. Nunca existiรณ nada de eso. Fue un recurso tonto para poner distancia una vez mรกs entre ese diabรณlico personaje que una vez fui y yo como soy en la actualidad. Pero, como dicen, el personaje se comiรณ a la persona. ..

-Voy a pensarlo โ€“concluyรณ con una nota de duda en el tono. .. Finalmente habรญa marcado el lรญmite con ese pasado impiadoso.

“Zinger”

  I found in the funeral notices section of the online newspaper that it read the following obituary:  

โ€œWith the physical disappearance of Marga Dalla Ponte, due to a cruel illness, national art loses one of its most distinguished representatives. As a teacher, he offered master classes, conducted workshops, and promoted new values โ€‹โ€‹with generosity and interest in revalidating titles for our country in the complex world of visual experiences. Withdrawn from classrooms and exhibitions for years, the number of people who were summoned to say goodbye to his remains was scarce. Rest in peace, teacher and friend.    

The following text was then read:   “Zelda Inger participates in the death of her dear friend, an indeclinable mainstay in times of sad memory, and asks a prayer to her beloved memory.”   —-  

I had a visit to Eugenia de Pritzker pending to inform her, among other things, that I was about to conclude the task of ordering Don David’s files, since in the new conditions it was almost impossible for me to deal with this contingency. Likewise, I proposed to present to her some issues that directly involved her. …

I found her, as usual, sitting in the kitchen, her concentration barely distracted by the television on. “I’m glad that the painting has been useful and remunerative for you,” he said with a certain spiteful touch as soon as he saw me enter.

-You are wrong. The idea was not to sell it, quite the opposite. We thought it was a way to honor him so many years after his first and only exhibition. Without counting the tragic charge that it transmits, it is very beautiful. It speaks highly of its creator, of his skills… On the other hand, it’s yours and I can return it to you whenever you want. She didn’t answer, shr just gave me a long look, not without attention.

-Allow me to tell you a story that, not because it is brief, is still dramatic?- She made a gesture with his hand as if the matter were unimportant-. It tells of a young woman named Zelda who wanted to dedicate her life to art but met with fierce opposition from her father, who had other plans not only for her but also for the rest of his children. However, at first he tolerated her aspirations to become an artist, surely in the belief that when she grew up she would abandon such nonsense and return to the right path. It was all in vain. “I don’t know who you’re referring to,” he outlined in protest. I never met those people. I continued without noticing his interruption:

-This difference reached its outcome when the Six Day War broke out between the young State of Israel against powerful armies from neighboring countries. The first days were marked by uncertainty, anguish… The ghosts that barely thirty years before had led to the concentration camps, to the extermination of our brothers, to the horrible vision of contemplating the Jews thrown into the sea, as the enemies urged on, revived. Surely in Zelda’s sensitive soul a storm of feelings was unleashed. Despair, extreme fear, anguish… Then he resorted to the only tool at his disposal, which allowed him to express himself with complete freedom. Locked in her room, in twenty-four hours of intense, feverish work, the woman in the portrait emerged, that woman who personified the horror experienced by our people throughout the 20th century. I imagine that the title emerged as an epiphany and, it is true, it was fully intended to provoke, to incite an emotional response: โ€œOur Lady of Auschwitzโ€. Eugenia’s face darkened more and more. It no longer reflected irony or contempt, but a combination of anger and regret. -It was then that Zelda said: “Half Humanity takes pity for the crucifixion of a Jew and very few for the massacre of so many millions.” His eyes widened in surprise. However, she persisted in keeping quiet. I began to doubt the accuracy of my arguments.

A point of exasperation suffused the woman’s face; an instant later she vented her grudge. “I don’t understand why you are telling me this fable, it seems completely strange to me,” she said bitterly, trying to minimize its impact.

-Please, Eugenia, let me finish and I’ll explain later. The answer was a belligerent silence that did not signify acceptance but condescension. -Despite the realization of the work โ€“I continued-, the objective of expressing its message would not have been fulfilled without having managed to expose it to the public. It is then that Reina Benazar, the cousin of Zelda’s mother, who owns an art gallery, appears. Without consulting anyone, she made the decision to take him a photograph of the portrait – an image that I was able to see – and await its trial. I guess the painting moved her and she immediately agreed to put it up for public consideration. She raised only one objection: the title. She probably assessed that it was better not to be provocative, and although Israel had managed to prevail in the war, negative sentiments persisted. Reina was the one who proposed โ€œThe Lady of the Shoahโ€. For a new artist, who had before her the magnificent opportunity to show a work of her own, such a suggestion did not generate any dispute. She was obsessed with the possibility of having her first showing, so she didn’t want to ruin the offer. I am convinced that she would stand up today and fight to impose her principles. Then, half a century ago, young and inexperienced, she complied with the restriction imposed on her in order to not to miss a propitious opportunity.

Upon learning of Reina’s proposal and, even worse, the positive response she received, the declaration of war was ratified. Dr. Ingerbrock did not accept either one or the other and forbade his daughter any movement towards that end. In short, Zelda felt inflamed by the winds of rebellion and left the family home behind. A fierce ostracism was imposed with the purpose of punishing her intransigence. She was a victim, but although with this action, she punished her mother and brothers with the same blow. In this way, alone in the world, far from her closest ties, the urgent need for a roof that sheltered her and, why not, a warm hug that contained her, became present. The reply to this concern was provided to me by the obituary article that Zelda Inger published on the occasion of the death of Magda Dalla Ponte where she described her friend as, I will try to mention the direct quote, “an indeclinable mainstay in times of sad memory.”

I wondered what this unfortunate circumstance could be and what was the bond that linked two women so different who, in fact, weren’t even have contact at that moment. The answer, then, must lie in their past and in what they once shared. Painting, art, dissatisfaction with patriarchal codes…

Marga then was more than the teacher, the counselor. She was the one who received her when she left the parental home. ..

-Now it remains to consider the arrival of a new character: David Pritzker. Eugenia looked at me fixedly, anxious to know what testimony she would use to support my deductions. David and Cecilia met through her brothers. Although he was older, David, a law student, felt an ideological affinity with the other two because of Zionism, socialism, the new Jewish state. Arguments were common but in the end the blood did not reach the river, as they say. She stayed away from those earthly issues, and was imbued with artistic pursuits.

However, between the two began to grow an affectivity that transcended politics, the desire to fix the world. โ€œDavid learned of the news from Israel and Moses, devastated by the absence of their sister. I suppose he even offered to mediate between father and daughter to consider his return. However, neither of them was willing to resign their positions.

I have no doubt that the enamored future lawyer moved heaven and earth until he finally obtained the information, I do not know who provided it to him, although I can assume that the tip came from someone very close to them, that the owner of his sighs was staying at Marga’s house. Despite his repeated requests for the young woman to give up her attitude, she did not give up. Thus, the visits became habitual, always under the supervision of the inquisitive and distrustful chaperone, and the requirement of absolute discretion if he wished to continue with them. For the first time in my already lengthy monologue I noticed a relaxation in the tight features of the old woman’s face. It had struck a very intimate chord; I suppose the memories must have cascaded over his troubled spirit.the woman persisted in keeping unaffected.

Eugenia looked at me fixedly, anxious to know what testimony she would use to support my deductions. David and Cecilia met through her brothers. Although he was older, David, a law student, felt an ideological affinity with the other two because of Zionism, socialism, the new Jewish state. Arguments were common but in the end the blood did not reach the river, as they say. She stayed away from those earthly issues imbued with her artistic pursuits. However, between the two began to grow an affectivity that transcended politics, the desire to fix the world. David learned of the news from Israel and Moses, devastated by the absence of their sister. I suppose he even offered to mediate between father and daughter to consider his return. However, neither of them was willing to resign their positions. I have no doubt that the enamored future lawyer moved heaven and earth until he finally obtained the information, I do not know who provided it to him, although I can assume that the tip came from someone very close to them, that the owner of his sighs was staying at Marga’s house. Despite his repeated requests for the young woman to change her attitude, she did not give up. Thus, the visits became habitual, always under the supervision of the inquisitive and distrustful chaperone, and the requirement of absolute discretion if he wished to continue with them.

For the first time in my already lengthy monologue I noticed a relaxation in the tight features of the old woman’s face. It had struck a very intimate chord. I suppose that the memories had come down in a cascade over her troubled spirit.

-There are times when we act impulsively and then it’s very difficult to go back,” she said quietly, almost like an inward thought.

It was the crack tin the armor that I was waiting for, a concession that opened new and unexpected paths.

I waited for this new state to consolidate, an evolution that unfolded naturally. The woman looked at me from a new perspective, I would almost say released from a prison that she herself had woven around her, represented by a new, more diaphanous light in her eyes.

-How did you know about Marga’s gesture? โ€“All trace of rancor had disappeared; now there was serenity in his voice, as if a weight that had always been loaded down had been shed.

-From the text of the obituary of her death. She trusted that by hiding your true identity behind names that are not your usual ones, you would avoid the attention of the indiscreet people who are never absent. Time hides everything, but the details are always there and when you least expect them, they come back.

-I did not take into account the fine perception of Marcos Opatoshu. โ€“There was no cynicism or malice in those words, it was an assertion pronounced in passing

-Finally, David received his title and that’s when he proposed to her. Faced with this reality, any other consideration dissipated. If she did not accept, her life would always be spent in hiding and perhaps without any other possibility of starting a family; the other, to go home and beg the father’s forgiveness at who knows what price. In this way, the suitor obtained consent with an iron condition. The ceremony would be low-key, restricted to a few of her family guests. Surely, the groom thought that this was an excellent opportunity to iron out all the rough edges and start their life together debt-free. Despite the requirements raised, he accepted. Undoubtedly, it was not the wedding that any of them expected to celebrate one day, but, as they say, it was what it was.

A brief pause prompted her to take charge of the course of the story.

-We got married in a small shill on the outskirts, with a chuppah (1) above us and the exact number of men to make up a minyan (2). I am sure that David taught his family not to ask anything about my absence, which I always thanked him for, although he never made any comment to me. At the end of the ceremony, we went to a small room where we made a lechaim. (3)

-A couple of days before, we had gotten married civilly and once again David took care of the details. And there it all ended.

-When did you decide to change your name Cecilia or Zelda to Eugenia?

-At the time of writing the ketubah.(4) It was a kind of tribute to a false aunt who always supported my vocation. He died before the start of this disaster. -This document must include the names of the parents of the groom and the bride, as well as the witnesses. -I don’t know. David took care of the details. I think he spoke to a friendly rabbi. On the other hand, my godfather was a great friend of his, Segismundo, the bookseller.

-He is also my friend. I now understand your reluctance to go into detail on the matter.

-I know. I always appreciated his discretion. He is a good person.

This was a break marked the end of that chapter that must have been very bitter in her life. It was a brief silence, charged with emotion, without resentment. She looked agitated, restless, perhaps anxious to get to the end of these memories.

-Are you feeling well, Cecilia? Do you want us to stop here? I purposely called her by her real name. She noticed that, and I felt her thank me with her eyes moist with emotion. ..She had finally drawn the line with that unforgiving past. ..

[1]Hebrew: encompassing. Bridal canopy under which the bride and groom and their godparents are placed. It represents the divine presence that is over them to make them one. [2]Hebrew: figure, number. It is a minimum number of ten Jewish men over the age of 13, required for the performance of certain rituals, the fulfillment of precepts, or the reading of prayers. It represents the number of people that Abraham wanted to save as a last option, when God revealed to him that he would destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.[3]Hebrew: for life. Name given to the Jewish toast. [4]Hebrew: written. It is the marriage certificate or contract in which it is declared that the marriage has been celebrated by mutual agreement and the rights and obligations of the couple are detailed. The names of the bride and groom and their parents, in Hebrew and Spanish, of the wedding witnesses and the date of the ceremony (in the Hebrew calendar and, in some cases, in both calendars) appear.

Pedro Friedeberg — Artista visual judรญo-mexicano/Mexican Jewish Artist –El arte excรฉntrico, absurdo e irreverente/Eccentric, Absurd and Irreverent Art

___________________________________________________________________

Pedro Friedeberg, aunque se naciรณ en Italia, es un artista y diseรฑador mexicano conocido por su obra surrealista llena de lรญneas, colores y sรญmbolos antiguos y religiosos. Su pieza mรกs conocida es la โ€œHand-Chairโ€, una escultura/silla diseรฑada para que las personas se sienten en la palma de la mano, usando los dedos como respaldo y reposabrazos. Friedeberg comenzรณ a estudiar arquitectura pero no completรณ sus estudios ya que comenzรณ a dibujar diseรฑos contra las formas convencionales de la dรฉcada de 1950. Su trabajo llamรณ la atenciรณn del artista Mathias Goeritz, quien lo animรณ a continuar como artista. Friedeberg se convirtiรณ en parte de un grupo de artistas surrealistas en Mรฉxico que incluรญa a Leonora Carrington y Alice Rahon, quienes produjeron obras de arte altamente provocativas, rechazando las formas de arte social y polรญtico que eran dominantes en ese momento. Desde sus primeras exposiciones individuales a fines de la dรฉcada de 1950, Friedeberg se ha convertido en uno de los artistas mรกs reconocidos de Mรฉxico, con sus obras de arte surrealistas que se encuentran en las colecciones de prestigiosas galerรญas y museos de todo el mundo. Frecuentemente conocido como el รบltimo gran excรฉntrico, Friedeberg crea obras absurdas e irreverentes que desafรญan las convenciones y superan los lรญmites de lo imposible. Friedeberg ha tenido una reputaciรณn de por vida de ser excรฉntrico y afirma que “el arte estรก muerto porque no se produce nada nuevo”.

Pedro Friedeberg, although born in Italy, is a Mexican artist and designer known for his surrealist work filled with lines colors and ancient and religious symbols. His best known piece is the โ€œHand-Chairโ€ a sculpture/chair designed for people to sit on the palm, using the fingers as back and arm rests. Friedeberg began studying as an architect but did not complete his studies as he began to draw designs against the conventional forms of the 1950s. His work caught the attention of artist Mathias Goeritz, who encouraged him to continue as an artist. Friedeberg became part of a group of surrealist artists in Mexico which included Leonora Carrington and Alice Rahon, who produced highly provocative art works, rejecting the social and political art forms that were dominant at the time. Since his first solo exhibitions in the late 1950s, Friedeberg has become one of Mexicoโ€™s most recognized artists, with his surreal artworks found in the collections of prestigious galleries and museums around the world. Often referred to as the last great eccentric, Friedeberg creates absurd and irreverent works that challenge convention and push the limits of the impossible.  Friedeberg has had a lifelong reputation for being eccentric, and states that โ€œart is dead because nothing new is being produced.โ€

Patricia Israel (1939-2011)– Artista polรญtica judรญo-chilena/Chilean Jewish politically-oriented artist

Patricia Israel

Patricia Israel (1939-2011) naciรณ en Temuco, Chile, y realizรณ sus primeros estudios en la Academia de Escultura de Tรณtila Albert para luego cursar pintura y grabado en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de la Universidad de Chile. Viviรณ en Argentina y Venezuela. fue pintora y grabadora de origen judรญo adscrita a la corriente del Neo-expresionismo. Entre los ejes temรกticos de su trabajo estรกn las diversas situaciones que simbolizan la relaciรณn del humano con el mundo, desarrollando temas especรญficos, como el del holocausto judรญo, pero que traspasado al รกmbito del arte, representa dolores y horrores universales. Esa uniรณn se presenta siempre bajo un pulcro tratamiento formal que permite vislumbrar al dibujo como soporte de su imaginario, utilizando tanto el color como la tela misma, como soporte de la composiciรณn. Ese modus operandi, que ha sido la punta de lanza de su producciรณn desde el inicio, le permitiรณ en sus trabajos mรกs recientes abordar con mรกs fuerza temas americanistas. Partiendo su investigaciรณn en textos literarios, rescataba imรกgenes iconogrรกficas como el conquistador y los dominados, representando la aรบn utรณpica liberaciรณn sudamericana.Israel fue la primera mujer en ganar la Bienal Internacional de Arte de Valparaรญso (1991) algo muy significativo para ella, ya que desde muy el comienzo de su carrera asumiรณ y defendiรณ su postura como mujer, chilena y latina en defensa de la injusticia de gรฉnero como analogรญa del sufrimiento de los oprimidos. De ahรญ que su pintura โ€œMujerโ€ del mismo aรฑo sea un homenaje a esta lucha.Su obra ha sido exhibida internacionalmente destacando su participaciรณn en la Bienal de Venecia en 1974 y el Premio Altazor a las Artes Nacionales recibido el aรฑo despuรฉs de su muerte, en 2012.

_____________________________________

Patricia Israel (1939-2011) was born in Temuco, Chile and studied at the Tรณtila Albert Sculpture Academy, before studying at the School of Fine Arts of the University of Chile. She lived in Argentina and Venezuela. She was a painter and engraver of Jewish origin attached to Neo-expressionism. Among the thematic axes of her work are the various situations that symbolize the human relationship with the world, developing specific themes, such as the Jewish Holocaust, but which, transferred to the field of art, represents universal pain and horror. This union is always presented under a neat formal treatment that allows us to glimpse the drawing as a support for his imaginary, using both color and the fabric itself, as a support for the composition.That modus operandi, which has been the spearhead of his production from the beginning, allowed her to address Americanist themes more forcefully in his most recent works. Starting her research in literary texts, she rescued iconographic images such as the conqueror and the dominated, representing the still utopian South American liberation. Israel was the first woman to win the Valparaรญso International Art Biennial (1991), something very significant for her, since from the very beginning of her career she assumed and defended her position as a woman, Chilean and Latina in defense of gender injustice, as an analogy for the suffering of the oppressed. Hence, his painting “Woman” from the same year is a tribute to this fight. Her work has been exhibited internationally, highlighting his participation in the Venice Biennale in 1974 and the Altazor Award for National Arts received the year after her death in 2012.

Andrรฉs Waissman es un artista que conoce tambiรฉn de geologรญa; de la mutaciรณn de las capas sucesivas de memoria en arte รฉtico. Sabe que sรณlo puede haber sociedad si las llagas de la historia esculpen la retina y se dejan pintar, asรญ: simples, potentes y bellรญsimas, como pliegues de porvenir, explosiones iniciales, movimiento, oleaje, estremecimiento, Big Bang.  Terrible e irresistible vicio el de Andrรฉs Waissman, de situar en la pequeรฑa puerta de lo instantรกneo esos  no-lugares en los que, justamente, hacer pensable el advenir y la apertura de “otros mundos posibles”.

Andrรฉs Waissman is an artist who also knows geology; of the mutation of the successive layers of memory in ethical art. He knows that there can only be society if the wounds of history sculpt the retina and allow themselves to be painted, like this: simple, powerful and beautiful, like folds of the future, initial explosions, movement, waves, shudder, Big Bang. Terrible and irresistible vice that of Andrรฉs Waissman, of placing in the small door of the instantaneous those non-places in which, precisely, to make the future thinkable and the opening of “other possible worlds”.

Baruj Salinas (La Habana1935pintorescultorgrabador y ceramista cubano de origen judรญo, naciรณ en La Habana, Cuba en 1935.โ€‹ La carrera de Salinas se iniciรณ en el campo de la arquitectura. Se graduรณ de la Universidad de Ohio con un tรญtulo de arquitecto y emigrรณ de Cuba a Miamia, Fla. de forma permanente en 1959. Salinas estableciรณ en Miami y mรกs tarde se trasladรณ a Barcelona, donde estudiรณ junto a artistas Joan Mirรณ y Antoni Tร pies. Aunque la arquitectura informรณ a sus primeros trabajos, poco a poco se trasladรณ hacia una expresiรณn puramente abstracta. Su obra se asemeja a cuadros de espacio, donde el color es mรกs importante que la forma y la misma se convierte en un tema principal. Hay rastros, tambiรฉn, de las tradiciones judรญas, pero haber nacido en Cuba ha hecho su impacto. Para รฉl, Cuba es el trรณpico y la caรฑa de azรบcar, tambiรฉn es el sol y la luz. ร‰l nunca dejarรก de ser cubano. Las pinturas de Salina se puede ver en las colecciones importantes de todo el mundo, como la Fundaciรณn Joan Mirรณ, de Barcelona, el Museo Nacional de Catalunya, Barcelona, el Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, Mรฉxico DF, el Uri Museo Beit, Israel, el Museo de Fort Lauderdale de las Artes, Florida, el Museo de Bellas Artes, Budapest, el Instituto de Arte de Chicago y el Museo de Arte de Phoenix, Arizona.


Baruj Salinas (Havana, 1935) Cuban painter, sculptor, engraver and ceramicist of Jewish origin, was born in Havana, Cuba in 1935. Salinas’s career began in the field of architecture. He graduated from Ohio University with an architecture degree and immigrated from Cuba to Miami, Fla. permanently in 1959. Salinas settled in Miami and later moved to Barcelona, โ€‹โ€‹where he studied alongside artists Joan Mirรณ and Antoni Tร pies. Although architecture informed his early work, he gradually moved towards a purely abstract expression. His work resembles paintings of space, where color is more important than form and form becomes a main theme. There are traces, too, of Jewish traditions, but being born in Cuba has made its impact. For him, Cuba is the tropics and the sugar cane, it is also the sun and the light. He will never stop being Cuban. Salina’s paintings can be seen in important collections around the world, such as the Joan Mirรณ Foundation, Barcelona, โ€‹โ€‹the National Museum of Catalonia, Barcelona, โ€‹โ€‹the National Institute of Fine Arts, Mexico City, the Uri Beit Museum, Israel, the Fort Lauderdale Museum of the Arts, Florida, the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona.

During his childhood he lived in Rio de Janeiro. He went with his family to Germany in 1928. In Berlin, he studied singing and became part of the city’s cultural life, frequenting theaters, operas, museums and art galleries. He came into contact with the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Paul Klee (1879-1940). In 1929, he attended the painting studio of Degner Klemn. In the gardens and botanical museums of Dahlen, in Berlin, he is excited to find specimens of Brazilian flora. Back in Brazil, he studied painting and architecture at the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes (Enba), Rio de Janeiro, between 1930 and 1934. In 1932, he carried out his first garden project for the Schwartz family’s residence in Rio de Janeiro. Between 1934 and 1937, he held the position of director of parks and gardens in Recife, Pernambuco, where he took up residence. During this period, he went frequently to Rio de Janeiro and took classes with Candido Portinari (1903-1962) and with the writer Mรกrio de Andrade (1893-1945), at the Art Institute of the University of the Federal District.

The end of the 1930s saw the integration of his landscape work into modern architecture, a time when the artist experimented with organic and sinuous forms in the elaboration of his projects. His passion for plants dates back to his youth, when he became interested in botany and gardening, but it was in 1949 that Roberto Burle Marx organized a large collection, when he acquired an 800,000 mยฒ site in Campo Grande, Rio de Janeiro. In the company of botanists, he made numerous trips to different regions of the country to collect and catalog plant specimens, reproducing the Brazilian phytogeographic diversity in his work.

“Cumple esperanzas”

           Yo, el รกrbol, voy a contarle una historia.

           Es una historia antigua que estรก en el presente y camina hacia tu futuro.

           Lo conocen los grillos y la contemplan emocionadas en sus viajes las estrellas fijas.

           Dan fe de ella, los manuscritos con que los hombres han perpetuado antiguos mensajes.

           Ahora, es necesario que tรบ la recuerdes.

           Tambiรฉn he dudado. . . ยฟQuรฉ tenemos en comรบn yo, รrbol y tรบ, Humano?

           ยฟCuรกl lengua comparten una estrella y un grillo?

           ยฟQuรฉ podrรญa saber nuestro sol de otros soles?

           Individualizamos por el lenguaje, serados por nuestras fronteras, aprendiendo a travรฉs de distintos รณrganos de percepciรณn. . .

           ยฟQuรฉ nos acercarรก?

           ยฟCรณmo darte algo mรกs que mis frutos?

           ยฟCรณmo recibir algo distinto a tus cuidados y tu sierra?

De todos modos lo intentarรฉ. Cumple Esperanza no olvido.

Los antiguos dicen. . .En el comienzo, el Creador รบnico y solitario en su bondad decidiรณ decir y dijo.

Dijo Luz y v la luz se hizo. Y la separรณ de las sombras

Dijo cielos, tierra y mares. Y vio que era bueno.

  Dijo plantas y รกrboles y nos creรณ.

    Dijo animales y fueron vivos. Mรกs el hombre lo formรณ a su imagen y semejanza para que lo nombrara, cuidara y reservara sus creaturas. Y entonces descansรณ y celebrรณ lo creado.

         Enamorado de su obra, el Creador esperaba el hombre tambiรฉn esperaba el hombre tambiรฉn la amara sintiendo la alegrรญa y la belleza de cada ser.

          Para que pudiera compartir tanto amor, del propio costado del hombre, de sus huesos y su sangre, el Seรฑor modelรณ la mujer.

  Era la edad de la inocencia.

        Sรณlo deben elegir la รบnica ley que el Hacedor les habรญa impuesto: No comer del รกrbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal. Como Padre y Maestro habรญa explicado el motivo de la prohibiciรณn: no debรญan elementarse del conocimiento para aprender vivisecciona, desintegra, divide. Mata.

       El hombre y la mujer decidieron desobedecer  porque deseaban poder. Poder sin responsabilidad.

       Ni siquiera reconocieron haber elegido comer el fruto prohibido, culpรกndose el uno al otro. Separรกndose.

      No sabรญan amar a las otras criaturas, sin adueรฑarse y demostrarse cuanto dominio ejercรญan sobre ellos.

      Ni siquiera advirtieron que al manipularse, renunciaban a parte de sรญ mismos: sutiles notas musicales que iluminaban de alegrรญa su mundo.

      Olvidaron nutrirse del รกrbol de la vida que tambiรฉn en el centro, del dulce fruto del conocimiento integrado a lo vida. Del saber que se comprende reuniendo, abrazando y reverenciando cada una de las obras del Creador.

       Dicen los antiguos que por extraรฑos motivos, el hombre no supo  agradecer y apreciar aquello que le fuera dado sin esfuerzo propio.

      Tendrรญa que aprender la diferencia entre el bien y el mal para reencontrar el รกrbol de la vida

      ยกQuรฉ largo para el hombre construir su camino al retorno!

      Resultaba difรญcil ayudarlo. Sus vibraciones se habรญan alejado demasiado de la nuestra, los รกrboles.

       Nos extraรฑaba, sin reconocer nuestro parentesco.

       En sus mejores momentos, suspirarรญa reflejando la hermosura en nosotros o se conmoverรญa por nuestro  esfuerza de alturas, que era tambiรฉn el suyo y en otros suspenderรญa nos aterrarรญa proyectando sin versos nuevos objetos.

      Con la paciencia que el Seรฑor nos enseรฑara, le enviรกbamos seรฑales, opacado el verde de nuestras hojas debilitando nuestros troncos. Era doloroso acompaรฑar la pena human con la nuestra.

      Pretendรญa curarnos (para el hombre y para mรญ, la vida seguirรญa el centro mรกs preciado, aunque รฉl no pudiera aรบn reconocerlo), con polvos, brebajes y extraรฑos aparatos de su invenciรณn.

       Dicen los antiguos que un dรญa el hombre apoyarรก sus manos en mi cuerpo, verรก hasta mi alma y recordarรก nuestra comรบn historia. Sabrรก es mi guardiรกn y mi amigo. No el Creador ni el Depredador.

        Entonces alcanzaremos universos fantรกsticos.

Armarรฉ el prรณjimo como a sรญ mismo.

  Dejarรก de matarse y matarme.

    Serรก la justicia su vestimenta y la fe su armadura.

        Transformarรก las espadas en arados y sus lanzas en tijeras y dejarรก de estudiar el arte de la guerra.

         Se regocijarรก la tierra, se alegrarรกn las multitudes de las islas.

         Desde algรบn lugar el รกrbol de la vida y desde aquรญ los รกrboles de formas mรบltiples, seguimos creciendo en el corazรณn del hombre.

         Cumple Esperanza esta tarea de volver a ser Uno, dicen los antiguos.

         Yo, el รrbol, sigo esperando.

โ€œHe Fulfills Hopesโ€

I, the tree, am going to tell you a story.

           It is an ancient story that exists in the present and moves toward the future.

           The crickets know it and contemplate the fixed stars excited by their voyages.

           They put their faith in it, the manuscripts with with which men have perpetuated ancient messages.

           Now, it is necessary that you remember it.

           I have doubted it too. . .What do we have in common, I, Tree, and you, Human?

           What language do a star and a cricket share?

           What could our sum know of other suns?

           We individualize by language, XXX by our borders, learning through distinct organs of perception.

What will come near us?

           How can I give your more than my fruits?

           How to receive something different from your affection and your saw?

           In any case, I will try it. โ€œHe fulfills Hopesโ€ doesnโ€™t forget;

           He said Light and there was light. And he separated it from the shadows.

           He said plants and animals and created us.

           He said animals and they were alive. But Man, he formed in his image and likeness so he that  could name, care for and set aside his creatures. And then he rested and celebrated the creation.

           In love with his work, the Creator hoped that man that man also hoped; he hoped the man also love, feeling the joy and beauty of every being.

           In order that he could share so much love, from nanโ€™s own side, of his bones and his blood, the Lord modeled woman.

It was the age of innocence;

           They only have to choose the only lay that the Maker had imposed on them: Do not eat from the tree of knowledge to learn

do vivisection, disintegrate, divide. Kill.

           The man and the woman decided to disobey because they wanted power. Power without responsibility. They didnโ€™t even acknowledge having  eaten the prohibited fruit, each blaming each other.

They separated.

           They didnโ€™t know how to love the  other creatures, without taking power over them and demonstrating how much control they exercised over them.

           They didnโ€™t even acknowledge that by changing a part of themselves: subtle musical notes that illuminate the joy of their world.

           They forgot how to take nutrition from the tree of life, that in the center, from the sweet fruit of knowledge to integrate life. From the knowing that comes from reuniting, giving hugs and revering ever one of the works of the Creator.

The ancients say that for strange motives, man didnโ€™t know how thank and appreciate that which was given to him without his own doing.

         He would have to learn the difference between good and evil to find the tree of life again.

         How long it would be for man to construct his way of return!

         It was difficult to help him. His vibrations had gone so far from ours, the trees.

         He missed us, without recognizing our relationship.

                  During his best moments, he would sigh, reflecting the beauty in us or would feel for our strength in the heights, that were also his, and during other moments, he would lay off XXXX projecting new objects without verses.

                  With the patience that the Lord taught us, we sent signals, covering the green of our leaves, weakening our trunks. It was painful to accompany the human pain with ours.

         He intended to cure us (for man, for me, life would continue being the most valued center, although man still couldnโ€™t recognize it,) with powders, potions and strange apparatus of his invention.

         The ancient say that one day, man will help lean his hands on my body, will see as far as my soul and will remember our common history. He will know that he is my guardian and my friend. Not the Creator or the Predator.

         Then we will reach fantastic universes.

         I will make the neighbor into himself.

         He will stop killing himself and killing me.

        Justice will be his clothing and faith his armor.

         He will transform swords into plowshares and his lances into scissors and will cease studying the art of war.

         The world will rejoice , the multitudes of the islands will be glad.

         From somewhere, the tree of life and from here the trees of multiple forms. We will continue growing in manโ€™s heart.

         โ€œHope Servesโ€ this task of returning to be One,. The ancients say.

          I, the Tree, continue waiting.

 “Humanos”

No quiero reemplazar con bronces

Los abrazos

Ni puedo llorar una sola lรกgrima mรกs

Por las ausencias,

Y me niego a cubrir de lentejuela a los amigos

Como si no existieran sus – mis miserias.

Porque para amarlos no necesito decirme

Que ellos fueron… o nosotros somos

Perfectos, pluscuamperfectos ni peores,

Grandiosos, ni impo-omni-potentes

Microbios, Atletas o Campeones,

Gigantes, Geniales ni Gusanos

Simplemente, los extraรฑo tanto,

Necesito sus presencias

Sus miradas y no quiero

Reemplazar con bronces

Los abrazos

Ni puedo llorar una sola lรกgrima mรกs

Por las ausencias,

Y me niego a cubrir de lentejuela a los amigos

Aunque cada beso que doy es tambiรฉn con ellos.

Y no sรฉ por quรฉโ€ฆ

Ni si a vos te pasa…

Serรก porque algunos (por ahora)

Ya no nos sentarnos a diestra o siniestra

De verdades redondas, inconmovibles y divinas

Que leรญmos en โ€aquรฉl libroโ€ o rezamos en panfletos,

Pero nos atrevemos a mojar el รญndice en la tinta

Para escribir nuestros propios pensamientos,

y no porque hoy seamos mรกs sabios o asertivos

Si no de puro coraje y por puro espanto

O porque la verdad aunque no nos convenga

Simplemente reluce y canta.

ยกAy! Y cuando canta nos reconocemos

A duras penas, pero aรบn humanos

De la especie Sapiens,

Ludens de tanto en tanto y sรณlo a veces Faber…

O que los diez mandamientos laten como tambores

En los estรณmagos vacรญos de cada esquina

Y los parches son agujeros negros,

Estrellas terminales de fines y comienzos,

Desde donde los ausentes brillan

Cada vez que digo no a una injusticia, o

Vos aplicรกs la ley como Dios manda.

Y mientras nos amemos asรญ

No necesito llorar una sola lรกgrima mรกs

Por las ausencias,

Y hasta abrazo los abrazos

Mientras continuemos rayando vos y yo,

Con las uรฑas

La cada vez menos dura superficie del planeta

Humans

Microbes, Athletes or Champions,

Giants, Friendly Ones, Worms

Simply, I miss them so much,

I need their presences

Their gazes and I donโ€™t want

To replace with bronzes

The hugs

Nor can I cry a single tear more

For the absences

And I refuse to cover the friends with spangles

Although every kiss is also with them.

And I donโ€™t know why. . .

Nor if what happened to you. . .

It will be because some (for now)

I donโ€™t want to replace with bronzes

The hugs

Nor can I cray a single tear more

For the absences,

I refuse to cover the spangles of the friends

As if they no longer existed their โ€“ my miseries.

Because to love each other I donโ€™t need to tell myself

That they were. . . or we are

Perfect, pluperfect no worse,

Grandiose, nor im-posing-omni-pontent

We no longer sit down on the right or the left

Of rounded truths, incontrovertible, or divine

That we read in โ€œThose booksโ€ or prayed with pamphlets

But we donโ€™t dare to moisten our index fingers in the ink

To describe our own thoughts

And not because we are wiser of more assertive

If not of pure courage or pure fright

Or because the truth, though it doesnโ€™t suit us

Simply shines and sings

Ay! And when it sings, we recognize ourselves

With great difficulty, but even humans

Of the Homo Sapiens species,

Ludens from time to time and only at times Faber. . .

Or that the ten commandments beat like drums

In the empty stomachs of every corner

And the patches are black holes.

Terminal stars of ends and beginnings,

From where the absent shine

Every time I say no to injustice. Or

You apply the law as God commands.

And while we love each other so

I donโ€™t need to cry a single tear more

For the absences,

And even the hug of hubs

While you and I continue scratching

With our fingernails

The constantly thinner surface of the Earth.

La presencia judรญa de Costa Rica/ The Jewish Presence in Costa Rica

________________________________

_____________________

Costa Rica es el hogar de aproximadamente 4000 judรญos, la mayorรญa de ellos descendientes de los mรกs de 300 inmigrantes de Zelechow, Polonia, que llegaron a principios de la dรฉcada de 1930 en busca de oportunidades econรณmicas y huyendo de las primeras seรฑales de advertencia del gobierno nazi. El Museo de la Comunidad Judรญa de Costa Rica de San Josรฉ presenta la historia de esa inmigraciรณn, asรญ como los primeros aรฑos de los hombres como vendedores de puerta en puerta, cuando se ganaron el apodo yiddish de “clappers” por el sonido que hacรญan tocando puertasโ€”se desarrolla a travรฉs de una serie de fotografรญas de archivo, paneles informativos y artefactos rituales. Valiosos shofars, tallits e instrumentos de brit milah atestiguan la adhesiรณn de los primeros pobladores a la vida religiosa. El museo es parte del Centro Israelita Sionista de Costa Rica, un extenso campus inaugurado en 2004. Con 2.500 miembros, esta es la direcciรณn principal ortodoxo para gran parte de lo judรญo en el paรญs: servicios de adoraciรณn diarios, certificaciรณn de kashrut, mikvehs, educaciรณn escolar diurna, programas para personas mayores y sociedad funeraria. Hay una sinagoga reformista. Los judรญos ocupan un lugar elevado y enrarecido en la sociedad costarricense. Operadores turรญsticos usan misma palabra: “elegante”, utilizada con reverencia en lugar de como un insultoโ€”cuando lucha en inglรฉs para describir a los judรญos locales, muchos de los cuales son dueรฑos de importantes concesionarios de automรณviles, franquicias de comida rรกpida y otros negocios exitosos.

_______________________________________

Costa Rica is home to approximately 4,000 Jews, most of them descendants of the 300-plus immigrants from Zelechow, Poland, who arrived in the early 1930s looking for economic opportunity and fleeing the early warning signs of Nazi rule. In San Josรฉโ€™s Museo de la Comunidad Judรญa de Costa Rica, the story of that immigration as well as the menโ€™s early years as door-to-door salesmenโ€”when they earned the Yiddish sobriquet โ€œklappersโ€ for the sound they made knocking on doorsโ€”unfolds through a series of archival photographs, informational panels and ritual artifacts. Treasured shofars, tallits and brit milah instruments testify to the earliest settlersโ€™ adherence to religious life. The museum is housed in the Centro Israelita Sionista de Costa Rica, a sprawling multi-acre campus opened in 2004. With 2,500 members, this is the main address for most things Jewish in the countryโ€”daily Orthodox worship services, kashrut certification, mikvehs, day school education, senior programs and burial society. There is one Reform congregation. Jews inhabit a lofty, rarified place in Costa Rican society. Tour leaders use the word โ€œfancy,โ€ with reverence rather than as a slurโ€”when struggling in English to describe local Jews, many of whom own prominent car dealerships, fast-food franchises and other successful businesses.

SOY DE LA TRIBU DE YEHUDร

Soy de la tribu de Yehudรก

La de mis abuelos y bisabuelos.

La de Salomรณn, de Jesรบs y Einstein.

Por no citar a Freud,

cuyo valioso secreto cabalรญstico

saltรณ a la silla del terapeuta.

No perdono los miles de holocaustos

que en nombre de fementidas verdades

se urdieron contra mi pueblo,

contra otros pueblos antiquรญsimos,

mรกs sabios que la ley del blanco.

Me horroriza el hombre integrado

a religiosas guerras.

Que somos uno en la inmensa nave

madre tierra, que nos transporta

a ilimitadas dimensiones.

Que todos respiramos un mismo destino.

Soy universal. Simplemente una mujer

que se atreve a soรฑar con una hermandad

de almas y de alas.

Precisamente por mi origen,

comprendo bien la tristeza de otros

venidos a menos por color o รกngulo de los ojos.

ยกQue venga la era del hombre,

maravilloso ser que puebla la existencia!

En รฉl veo รบnico, irrepetible,

mi orgullo de ser mujer.

Tambiรฉn amo al animal y a las plantas

que vivan mis soledades.

Soy judรญa. Tersa hasta la caricia.

Amorosa hasta el รฉxtasis.

I AM OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH

I am of the tribe of Judah.

That of my grandparents and great-grandparents.

That of Solomon, of Jesus and Einstein.

Not to mention Freud

whose valuable Kabbalistic secret

leaped to the therapistโ€™s chair.

I donโ€™t forgive the thousands of Holocausts

that in the name of false truths

were devised against my people,

against other extremely old peoples.

wiser than the law of the powerful.

I am horrified by the man who takes part in religious wars.

That we are one in the immense ship

Mother Earth, that transports to

unlimited dimensions.

That we all breathe a like destiny.

I am universal. Simply a woman

who dares to dream of a brotherhood

of souls and of wings.

Precisely because of my origin,

I well understand the sadness of others

brought down by color or angle of eyes.

Let the era of man come,

marvelous being who populates existence!

In him, I see as unique, unrepeatable,

my pride of being a woman.

I also love the animal and the plants

that live my solitudes.

I am Jewish. Smooth even to the caress.

Loving even to ecstasy.

III Lร“GICA

a Samuel Rowinski, amigo de las letras

La oposiciรณn de los magnetos,
dividos, separados,
amparados en sus polos disidentes,
causa la anulaciรณn de las fuerzas.

Y en el nรบcleo,
equilibrado el movimiento,
por inercia,
decrece hasta la muerte,
la multiplicaciรณn de los verbos.

_________________________________

III LOGIC

to  Samuel Rovinski, friend of literature

The opposition of the magnets,

divided, separated,

in its dissident poles,

cause the annulment  of the forces.

And in the nucleus

the movement balanced

by inertia,

decreases to its death,

to the multiplication of the words.

โ€œMy imagination leads me to design three-dimensional ideas. Sometimes I create on a smaller scale, imagining them being built in a much larger scale such as public spaces. Besides sculpture, I’m a full time painter who loves to let my imagination flow and I take pride in my technique as well. I enjoy the use of colors and smooth surfaces. I think that a person who wants to feel alive has to read, travel, love, and let himself be loved.โ€ Noรฉ Katz

De Grietas y Entretantos/ Of Fissures and Meanwhiles

To My Father

I copy you without knowing it

in my eyes raw

with dampness.

In your painful chest

In your silence.

You see,

that there I copy you poorly.

I let you be alone.

I note down in the calendar

the days for grieving.

So that you can understand me

I write you words

without letters.

_______________________________________

Shiva

I grief for you,

papa,

in the covered mirrors

of my eyes.

In each of the seven days

and the seven nights

of still to come.

I miss you,

papa,

in the echo of your last word

In my daughters.

I grief for you

seated under the warm ashes.

There in Gan Eden

I grieve for you,

papa.

When they gave me birth.

it was carnaval season in Buenos Aires.

They named me first,

And my father

gave my mother

a camelia.

They softly bound me.

The cloth still kept me rigid.

At times I stuck out an arm,

rebelled with a foot.

I raise my head

but the knot stays there

without untying.

My father told me that

in the carnival season in Buenos Aires

there were marionettes

when they gave me birth.

What did I do with the fire?

I taught it to behave itself

around people,

to conceal the slights,

to sit up straight

I spoke into its ear

quieting it.

I told it:

“Quiet, it’s dangerous.”

Later. After a while.

not now,

slowly.

And the fire paid attention to me.

I domesticated its flames

and I restrained my hands.

What did I do with the fire

when the others lit their torches,

they were experts in fires?

I kept it the same,

small,

with the necessary coal.

And I lost the flames

the true sparks

of love and hate.

Now, with the years

I’m extinguishing myself.

Let the fire do what it wants.

I no longer want to educate it.

_______________________________________

I Walk Home

I walk home

I knew my mother’s moods

and my father’s silences.

I glimpsed hats of rabbis,

neighbor ladies on the block

and shadows of the fig tree.

I walk home

I come upon the agonies of others

and the half open light the of the sexes.

I walk home

I walked

old friends

in piled up letters.

And arriving home

I stumbled over myself.

And in the cup of wine

A delay…

The door is opened

and a vision enters.

(It’s not the same invisible being

which is nothing.)

Let’s see, a place,

a little place!

The visitor is so light

and his burden so heavy.

(It’s not the same to be invisible

as to be nothing.)

Poor Elijah

He becomes undone.

There is someone who doesn’t

believe in prayers.

There is a grandchild

ready for adventure

and a grandfather’ voice

holds him back.

Elijah makes himself comfortable

and arrives in time for the glass of wine.

A breeze in the eyes.

an aroma in the soul.

And for the incredulous,

nothing…

To Jordana

My daughter springs forth from her hair

like an almond-colored

siren.

She gives me a kiss

and I become cotton

She spins around,

crouches down to hide.

She places her smile among my fingers;

dances,

complains about her hair

and draws whirlwinds

with her voice.

While I write nonsense,

she invents what is important:

a very serious song,

a question,

a glossy paper

that is lost.

On the rug,

she plays with photos

and laughs about the past

… .still.

Little Lara,

my fruit that didn’t fall from the tree.

… I fear life.

Once I was yours.

You possessed me among the threads

of your spidersweb,

You were a man

dressed in secrets,

that was lost.

who taught me the skin’s wine

that doesn’t deceive.

I could have died

but I didn’t do it.

Life needed me.

That Mann Moses

I looked for him in Rome

San Pietro in Vรญncoli empty.

I kneeled down,

Christianly alone.

The furrow of the Law

reached for an instant

a draw with death.

Shemah

fettered to the cold stone

of the desert.

But he,

looked in another direction.

And then,

I got up and walked

denying miracles.

I don’t know who abandoned whom.

We Women, Those of Us Now,

Are No Longer the Same

Since December

of nineteen seventy-seven,

the river has carried away

the broken docks,

some of our fathers

and all our adolescences,

The river has brought children

to the new docks,

that, fortunately,

come reaching

the banks.

Our men are those who

built the village.

And the fire is, almost always,

our task,

At times we can predict the storms.

And when they pass,

we count up damages and wounds,

we look over every palmful of earth.

The town doesn’t yet

have a cemetery.

Ex-Nihilo

July 18, 1994

December 18, 1991

In the end,

those who believe themselves

to be gods

destroyed the heavens

and the earth.

The land was

like the men,

in a reasonable disorder;

And the spirit rested

covering the Eternal Darkness.

And those who believed themselves to be gods said:

That it be Evil,

And it was Evil.

And the night profaned the second day.

And they said:

“Let the abysms rise to the surface

and life die buried.”

And night prepared the altar

on the second day.

And they said:

“That those who see solace

find only remains

among the rubble.”

And night officiated

on the third day.

And they said:

“Let the exhorbitent men

go crazy while waiting.”

And the night

cursed the forth day.

And they continued saying:

“That the name of God

be unpronounceable

among the dead and the ruins.”

And the night

sacrificed the fifth day.

And those who believed themselves to be gods

celebrated the destruction

that they created with their own hands.

And it was the emptiness

the night

the sixth day.

On the seventh day

those who believed themselves to be gods

called the satanic angels to be silent,

And the men

covered the mirrors of their houses

and went out to seek the Day.

_____________________________________________

Because the Years Turn

Because the years turn.

In the beginning.

they are ony

drums and noise.

Later on, some soldiers

on foot,

nothing serious.

Later, a cloud of galloping

dust.

Death, with a general’s cap,

There, yes,

one realizes

that they are coming on the attack.

You can stay in the fort

and let panic kill you.

Or go out to mix it up with them.

It’s all an art.

The years don’t come alone.

They are laden with loves,

children,

quick-moving stones.

If one leaves the fort

and is able to hold onto

to what the years bring,

it seems they are destroyed.

Death, with a general’s cap,

then.

He sleeps a little.

And doesn’t go to battle.

One,

only has a life

like a weapon.

Primera mitad/First Half

Segunda mitad

Identidad y diversidad: Libro de Artista , cada uno de los catorce artistas visuales judรญos latinoamericanos reacciona a travรฉs del arte a un poema de cada uno de los catorce poemas de un poeta judรญo latinoamericano. Ninguno de los artistas simplemente ilustrรณ el poema, sino que utilizรณ pintura, dibujo, grabado y fotografรญa para expresar su comprensiรณn de la poesรญa. Por lo tanto, la poesรญa y el arte, conectados, crean una sinergia que expande enormemente el poder de ambos. Luego se agregaron las traducciones de los poemas al inglรฉs para que una audiencia mรกs amplia pudiera apreciar el efecto acumulativo de la interacciรณn de la poesรญa y el arte. Como la de los poetas, la obra de los artistas incorpora los valores judรญos con la cultura de su paรญs de nacimiento de adopciรณn: Argentina, Uruguay, Mรฉxico, Brasil, Costa Rica, Cuba, Perรบ, Bolivia y Venezuela: dos de Argentina se habรญan asentado en Israel.

In this collection Identity and Diversity: Artist Book, each of fourteen Latin American Jewish visual artists react through art to one poem by each of fourteen poems by a Latin American Jewish poet. None of the artists simply illustrated the poem, but rather uses painting, drawing, engraving and photography to express their understanding of the poetry. Hence, poetry and art, connected, create a synergy that greatly expands the power of both. The translations of the poems into English were then added so that a broader audience could appreciate the cumulative effect of the interaction of poetry and art. Like that of the poets, the work of the artists incorporates Jewish values with the culture of their country of birth of adoption: Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba, Peru, Bolivia and Venezuela: two from Argentina had settled in Israel. The fourteen poems deal with central issues of the Latin American Jewish experience: Jewish identity, The Holocaust, the sense of being or not being an equal to other citizens in a Latin American Republic , the bombing of the AMIA community center in Buenos Aires in 1994, Israel, Sepharad (medieval Spain before the Expulsion,) the Bible and Kabbalah.

In creating each of the separate artist books, 17โ€ high by 11โ€ wide, the poem, the original art and the poem in English and short biographies of the poets and arts were bound into a large folded piece of heavy cardboard; each combination, then, became an individual artistโ€™s book. All fourteen bear the same cover design which unifies the group. This post in โ€œJewish Latin Americaโ€ and the one that follows it entries from the catalogue of an exhibit that was shown in the Jewish Museum of Buenos Aires, the El Pรฉndulo-Polanco Bookstore in Mexico City, and, in the United States, at the Argentine Consulate in New York, Northeastern University, the University of Texas-Austin, The University of Denver, Arizona State University, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Emmanuel College in Boston.

Segunda mitad/Tercera mitad

Primera mitad

En esta colecciรณn Identidad y Diversidad: Libro de Artista, cada uno de los catorce artistas visuales judรญos latinoamericanos reacciona a travรฉs del arte a un poema de cada uno de los catorce poemas de un poeta judรญo latinoamericano. Ninguno de los artistas simplemente ilustrรณ el poema, sino que utilizรณ pintura, dibujo, grabado y fotografรญa para expresar su comprensiรณn de la poesรญa. Por lo tanto, la poesรญa y el arte, conectados, crean una sinergia que expande enormemente el poder de ambos. Luego se agregaron las traducciones de los poemas al inglรฉs para que una audiencia mรกs amplia pudiera apreciar el efecto acumulativo de la interacciรณn de la poesรญa y el arte. Como la de los poetas, la obra de los artistas incorpora los valores judรญos con la cultura de su paรญs de nacimiento de adopciรณn: Argentina, Uruguay, Mรฉxico, Brasil, Costa Rica, Cuba, Perรบ, Bolivia y Venezuela: dos de Argentina se habรญan asentado en Israel.

Gunther Gerzso (1915-2000) — Artista, escultor y escenรณgrafo judรญo-mexicano — Mexican Jewish Artist, Sculptor and Scene Designer — El arte sorprendente/Surprising Art

Gunther Gerzso

________________________________________________

Gunther Gerzso naciรณ en la ciudad de Mรฉxico en 1915. A los doce aรฑos se traslada a Suiza en donde realiza parte de sus estudios. En 1931 regresa a Mรฉxico. Tres aรฑos despuรฉs conoce a Fernando Wagner, actor, productor y director de teatro, quien utiliza los diseรฑos de Gerzso en el montaje de obras de Moliere, Shakespeare y Lope de Vega. De 1935 a 1940 reside en Estados Unidos. Estudiรณ en el Cleveland Playhouse en donde, gracias a la ayuda de Sol Cornberg, director tรฉcnico, se convierte en poco tiempo en el escenรณgrafo de teatro. A partir de 1940 comienza su trayectoria como pintor autodidacta. Su primera obra, “Dos Mujeres”, tiene una marcada influencia del pintor mexicano Carlos Orozco Romero. Durante los siguientes veinte aรฑos, Gerzso diseรฑa la escenografรญa de aproximadamente 250 pelรญculas. Trabaja con muchos directores, entre ellos Luis Buรฑuel, John Ford e Yves Allegret. Sus constantes viajes por la Repรบblica Mexicana, debidos a su trabajo en el rodaje de las pelรญculas, despiertan en รฉl un gran interรฉs por el arte precolombino. En 1994 conoce al grupo de surrealistas refugiados en Mรฉxico: Benjamรญn Pรฉret, Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo y Wolfgang Paalen. Debido a la influencia de este grupo de artistas, su pintura se vuelve mรกs surrealista. En 1950 realiza su primera exposiciรณn individual en la Galerรญa de Arte Mexicano. Durante las siguientes cinco dรฉcadas, Gerzso presenta alrededor de 30 exposiciones individuales y participa en mรกs de cien muestras colectivas en Mรฉxico, Estados Unidos, Colombia, Brasil, Argentina, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Francia, Italia, Inglaterra, Espaรฑa, Alemania, Japรณn e Israel. De las exposiciones individuales organizadas por museos destacan la retrospectiva en el Museo Nacional de Arte Moderno de la Ciudad de Mรฉxico (1963); Twenty years of Gunther Gerzso, Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona (1970); Museo de Arte Moderno de la Ciudad de Mรฉxico (1970 y 1977); An evening with Gunther Gerszo, Mexican Museum of San Francisco (1988). Gunther Gerzso falleciรณ en 2000.

________________________________________________________

Gunther Gerzso was born in Mexico City in 1915. At the age of twelve he moved to Switzerland where he carried out part of his studies. In 1931 he returned to Mexico. Three years later he met Fernando Wagner, actor, producer and theater director, who used Gerzso’s designs in the montage of works by Moliere, Shakespeare and Lope de Vega. From 1935 to 1940 he lived in the United States. He studied at the Cleveland Playhouse where, thanks to the help of Sol Cornberg, technical director, he quickly became the theater set designer. From 1940 he began his career as a self-taught painter. His first work, “Dos Mujeres”, is strongly influenced by the Mexican painter Carlos Orozco Romero. Over the next twenty years, Gerzso designed the scenery for approximately 250 films. He works with many directors, including Luis Buรฑuel, John Ford, and Yves Allegret. His constant travels through the Mexican Republic, due to his work in the filming of films, aroused in him a great interest in pre-Columbian art. In 1994 he met the group of surrealist refugees in Mexico: Benjamรญn Pรฉret, Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo and Wolfgang Paalen. Due to the influence of this group of artists, his painting becomes more surreal. In 1950 he held his first solo exhibition at the Galerรญa de Arte Mexicano. Over the next five decades, Gerzso presented around 30 individual exhibitions and participated in more than one hundred group shows in Mexico, the United States, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, France, Italy, England, Spain, Germany, Japan and Israel. Of the individual exhibitions organized by museums, the retrospective at the National Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City (1963) stands out; Twenty years of Gunther Gerzso, Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona (1970); Museum of Modern Art of Mexico City (1970 and 1977); An evening with Gunther Gerzso, Mexican Museum of San Francisco (1988). Gunther Gerzso passed away in 2000.

Guillermo Kuitka — Artista judรญo-argentino de renombre internacional/Argentina Jewish Artist of International Renown

images-11

Guillermo Kuitka

Descendiente de inmigrantes judรญos y criado durante el brutal perรญodo de la dictadura militar conocida como la “Revoluciรณn Argentina” (1966-1973), Guillermo Kuitca produce poderosas pinturas, esculturas, dibujos e instalaciones que resuenan con temas de aislamiento, dislocaciรณn y soledad. Aunque casi siempre estรก desprovisto de humanos, sus obras tienen un fuerte sentido de presencia humana, con motivos como carruseles de equipaje del aeropuerto, mapas, planos de apartamentos y grรกficos de asientos de teatros que se ejecutan en sus muchas creaciones. Como รฉl explica, sus obras sostienen โ€œla verdad, la historia, el pasado, la experiencia.

______________________________________________

Descended from Jewish immigrants and raised during the brutal period of military dictatorship known as the โ€œArgentine Revolutionโ€ (1966โ€“73), Guillermo Kuitca produces powerful paintings, sculptures, drawings, and installations resonant with themes of isolation, dislocation, and loneliness. Though almost always devoid of humans, his works have a strong sense of human presence, with motifs like airport baggage carousels, maps, apartment floor plans, and theater seating charts running throughout his many creations. As he explains, his works hold โ€œthe truth, the story, the past, the experience.

Rubรฉn Cukier, nacido y criado en Buenos Aires en 1964, en una Argentina polรญticamente violenta. Ahora vive en Israel. Cukier elige colores y sombras que revelan un anhelo por una realidad menos superficial y menos engaรฑosa. Las formas, dimensiones y colores dan forma a los sueรฑos y pesadillas, e incluso aluden a una nociรณn de esperanza. El humor se usa para reflejar miedos, hรกbitos y deseos que la mayorรญa de nosotros negamos y reprimimos profundamente dentro de yuxtaposiciones inesperadas que, al principio, son desconcertantes y provocan pensamientos, pero cuando se consideran mรกs de cerca, producen reconocimiento. El reconocimiento de sueรฑos, miedos o pensamientos que nosotros mismos pudimos haber experimentado en un momento u otro.

Rubรฉn Cukier, born and raised in Buenos Aires in 1964, in a politically violent Argentina. He now lives in Israel. Cukier chooses colors and shades that reveal a yearning for a less superficial, less deceptive reality. The forms, dimensions and colors give shape to dreams and nightmares, and even allude to a notion of hope. Humor is used to reflect fears, habits and desires that most of us deny and suppress deep within Unexpected juxtapositions that, at first, are baffling and thought provoking but when considered more closely, produce recognition. The recognition of dreams, fears or thoughts that we ourselves may have experienced at one time or another.

Vรญctor Chab

___________________________________________________________________

Vรญctor Chab naciรณ en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, el 6 de septiembre de 1930, en el seno de una familia de inmigrantes judรญos. Nacidos en Damasco, luego de un breve paso por Cuba, sus padres se instalaron en la Argentina donde se dedicaron al comercio. A los trece aรฑos, apenas salido de la escuela primaria, Chab ya habรญa definido su vocaciรณn por la pintura. Autodidacta, asistiรณ a diversos talleres -brevemente al de Cecilia Marcovich y Demetrio Urruchรบa- hasta que conoce el taller libre MEEBA (Mutual de Estudiantes y Egresados de Bellas Artes) donde ejercita el oficio. En 1947 obtiene el Segundo Premio del XXVI Salรณn Anual de MEEBA, por la obra โ€œManzana sobre mesaโ€. En 1952 realiza la primera exposiciรณn individual en la galerรญa Plรกstica de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, comenzando asรญ una larga trayectoria, exponiendo tanto en Argentina como en el exterior. En 2001, exhibe pinturas en la galerรญa Rubbers. Estas obras altamente figurativas ponen en escena varios de los temas que Chab ha tratado en su larga carrera: automatismo versus imagen, representaciรณn versus delirio.

__________________________________________________________

Victor Chab was born in the city of Buenos Aires, on September 6, 1930, in a family of Jewish immigrants. Born in Damascus, after a brief step through Cuba, his parents settled in Argentina where they worked in commerce. At thirteen, just after leaving elementary school, Chab had already defined his vocation for painting. Self-taught, he attended several workshops – especially that of Cecilia Marcovich and Demetrio Urruchรบa – until he meets the free workshop MEEBA (Mutual of Students and Graduates of Fine Arts) where he exercises the trade. In 1947 he obtained the Second Prize of the XXVI Annual MEEBA Salon, for the work โ€œApple on tableโ€. In 1952 he made the first individual exhibition in the Plastic Gallery of the city of Buenos Aires, thus beginning a long career, exhibiting both in Argentina and abroad. In 2001, he exhibits paintings in the Rubbers gallery. These highly figurative works put on stage several of the topics that Chab has dealt with in his long career: automatism versus image, representation versus delirium.

Patricia (Patty) Krasbuch was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1956, and has studied painting since she was age six years old. From 1975 to 1989 Patricia lived in Israel where she studied painting in Beer Sheva and Haifa. Upon returning to Argentina in 1989, Krasbuch studied interior decorating in Montevideo, graphic design in Buenos Artes and continued to perfect her technique by working in the art studios of several leading Argentine painters. Patricia Krasbuch has also studied  with the leading of Jungian groups at the Vinculos Foundation in Buenos Aires; with Dr. Carlos Menegazzo, she studied the psychodrama of dreams, myths and symbols. Of her own work, Krasbuch explains: “My work links the two worlds, the one above with the one below, heaven and earth, masculine and feminine, spirit and matter. The Material world is in the spaces of silence, the white, the Braille, the symbols, the light. Every color is a meditative voyage; in it things cease to seem to be concrete forms and are transformed into metaphors in order to express the true sense of their existence through their soul.
The visible is the knowledge, the invisible is the wisdom. In almost all my work, I use texts in Braille,a type of metaphor. Also, I have incorporated elements of the Kabbalah and sacred texts into my creative search.”
TO LEARN TO SEE THAT WHICH IS UNSEEN,
TO CLOSE YOUR EYES TO WHAT DISTRACT,
TO ACCEPT OUR BLINDNESS,
TO TRY TO REDISCOVER A VISION FROM ABOVE.”

Blaszko es conocido por su trabajo como autor y como artista. Era bastante articulado en sus escritos y capaz de lograr una conciencia no sรณlo para su propio arte, sino tambiรฉn para el movimiento MADI. Falleciรณ en Buenos Aires en 2011.

She helped found the Instituto de Diseรฑo Neumann in Caracas where she taught from 1964 to 1977.ย  From the 1970s to the 1980s she completed important, architecturally integrated sculpture for public buildings, residences, and shopping malls. In 1972, for example, she constructed Cuerdas (Cords), a sculpture installation consisting of suspended nylon and stainless steel strips, for the Parque Central architectonic complex in Caracas. Gego eventually began to use random procedures and โ€œpoorโ€ materials such as industrial scraps and metals. Her series of suspended sculptures Dibujos sin papel (Drawings without Paper) and her series Bichos (Creatures) also date from the 1980s, as does her Reticulรกrea ambiental. ________________________________________________________________Obras de Gego/Works by Gego

____________________________________

Frans Krajcberg (Kozienice, Polรดnia, 1921 – Rio de Janeiro, 2017). Escultor, pintor, gravador e fotรณgrafo. Autor de obras que tรชm como principal caracterรญstica a exploraรงรฃo de elementos da natureza, destaca-se por seu ativismo ecolรณgico, que associa arte e defesa do meio ambiente. Nascido na Polรดnia, Krajcberg forma-se em engenharia e artes pela Universidade de Leningrado. Mais tarde, ao mudar-se para a Alemanha, ingressa na Academia de Belas Artes de Stuttgart, onde se torna aluno do pintor alemรฃo Willi Baumeister (1889-1955). Sua carreira artรญstica se inicia no Brasil, para onde migra em 1948, procurando reconstruir sua vida depois de perder toda a famรญlia em um campo de concentraรงรฃo durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Reside um curto perรญodo no Paranรก (isolando-se na floresta para pintar).ย Muda-se para o Rio de Janeiro em 1956 e naturaliza-se brasileiro no ano seguinte. Ele retorna a Paris em 1958, onde permanece atรฉ 1964. De volta ao Brasil, em 1964, instala um ateliรช em Cata Branca, Minas Gerais. A partir desse momento ocorre em sua obra a explosรฃo no uso da cor e do prรณprio espaรงo. Comeรงa a criar as “sombras recortadas”, nas quais associa cipรณs e raรญzes a madeiras recortadas. Em 1972, passa a residir em Nova Viรงosa, no litoral sul da Bahia. Amplia o trabalho com escultura, iniciado em Minas Gerais. Intervรฉm em troncos e raรญzes, entendendo-os como desenhos no espaรงo. Essas esculturas fixam-se firmemente no solo ou buscam libertar-se, direcionando-se para o alto. A partir de 1978, atua como ecologista, luta que assume carรกter de denรบncia em seus trabalhos: “Com minha obra, exprimo a consciรชncia revoltada do planeta”. Krajcberg viaja constantemente para a Amazรดnia e Mato Grosso, e registra por meio da fotografia os desmatamentos e queimadas em imagens dramรกticas. Dessas viagens, retorna com troncos e raรญzes calcinados, que utiliza em suas esculturas. Na dรฉcada de 1980 realiza a sรฉrieย Africana, utilizando raรญzes, cipรณs e caules de palmeiras associados a pigmentos minerais.

Frans Krajcberg (Kozienice, Poland, 1921 – Rio de Janeiro, 2017). Sculptor, painter, engraver and photographer. The main characteristic of his work is the exploration of of nature. He is known for his ecological activism, that associates art and defense of the environment. Born in Poland, Krajcberg graduated in engineering and arts from the University of Leningrad. Later, when moving to Germany, he entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, where he became pupil of the German painter Willi Baumeister (1889-1955). His artistic career began in Brazil, where he moved in 1948, seeking to rebuild his life after losing the entire family in a concentration camp during World War II.ย  He lived for a short period in Paranรก (isolating in the forest to paint). He moved to Rio de Janeiro in 1956 and became a Brazilian citizen the following year. Heย  returned to Paris in 1958, where he remained until 1964. Back in Brazil, in 1964, he set up an atelier in Cata Branca, Minas Gerais. From that moment on, his work explores the use of color and space itself. He begins to create the “cut up shadows,” in which he associates vines and roots with cut wood. In 1972, he moved to Nova Viรงosa, on the southern coast of Bahia. He expands his sculptural work, begun in Minas Gerais, with trunks and roots, understanding them as drawings in space. These sculptures hold firmly to the ground or seek to liberate themselves, heading upwards. From 1978 on, he acts as an ecologist, a struggle that he denounces: “With my work, I express the revolted conscience of the planet.” Krajcberg traveled constantly to the Amazon and Mato Grosso, and recordedย  photographically dramatic images of deforestation by burning. From these trips, he returned with trunks and calcined roots, which he used in his sculptures. In the 1980s, he created the Africana series, using roots, lianas and stalks of palm trees associated with mineral pigment.

Paralelamente me recibรญ de maestro de educaciรณn elemental ย e ingresรฉ a la Universidad de Buenos Aires para estudiar Medicina y Psiquiatrรญa en la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Me especialicรฉ en Psicoanรกlisis. Incursionรฉ en la fotografรญa y a partir de 1988 retomรฉ el oficio de pintor lejos de lo โ€œacadรฉmicoโ€ย  en los talleres de Silvia Brewda , Carlos Gorriarena, ย Jorge Meijide y Roberto Pรกez a lo largo de doce aรฑos. ย Gorriarena como pintor y Pรกez como dibujante con sus enseรฑanzas y crรญticas me impulsaron a un cambio de paradigma. Paralelamente aprendรญ ย grabado con Mirta Kupferminc ย y Andrea Juan. Participรฉ en los seminarios de crรญtica de Luis Felipe Noรฉย  entre 2004 y 2009.

_____________________________________

Hugo Goldgel was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1950. He showed an early interest in drawing and painting, spending ย time in artistsโ€™ studios up until his adolescence. After a break devoted to the study and practice of psychiatry and psychoanalysis at the University of Buenos Aires, and in which he also developed a passion for photography, in the late 1980s he returned to painting. Distancing himself from academic approaches, he solidified his skills in drawing and painting with Silvia Brewda and Jorge Meijide. He studied engraving with Mirta Kupferminc, continuing his studies with Andrea Juan. He credits Carlos Gorriarena and Roberto Pรกez for contributing to the dramatic weight he had been seeking for his work. In this way, he became committed to art as a philosophy and life practice. Through his critical workshops, Luis Felipe Noรฉ helped him to consolidate his accomplishments.

He has had exhibitions ย in art galleries and museums in Buenos Aires, Chicago, San Francisco, Montreal, Cusco, Montevideo, Paris, Luxembourg, Puerto Rico, and Mรฉxico DF. Art collectors from Argentina, the United States, Canadรก, France, Italy and Luxembourgย  own his works.

TODOS MIS CAMINOS CONDUCEN A ROMA

Las imรกgenes me rondan y si puedo las capturo . Soy un cazador atento a su presa, ladrรณn de imรกgenes tanto internas como de las provenientes del ย mundo exterior. Esa captura incluye gestos como el de quedarme con jirones de un cartel callejero, recortar un fragmento interesante con el objetivo de mi cรกmara o simplemente guardarlas en mi memoria aprovechando luego la distorsiรณn inexorable del recuerdo.ย  Asรญ es como afronto el proceso creativo dando pasos sucesivos que abren los imprevistos caminos, no excentos de accidentes, que dan lugar una metamorfosis con la intervenciรณn de las tรฉcnicas que hagan falta, digitales y manuales : lรกpiz, carbonilla, acrรญlico , รณleo, pastel. Sentimiento y razรณn en busca de un equilibrio justo antes de caer en el exceso o el abismo.

Opto por alejarme del ideal de perfecciรณn que conduce a lo siniestro. Apelo a la expresiรณn desenfadada para zafar de la opresiรณn cotidiana. Apuesto a la sinergia del encuentro, a la multiplicaciรณn de imaginarios junto al expectador….

Hugo Goldgel

ALL MY ROADS LEAD TO ROME

The images pursue me, and if I can, I capture them. I am a hunter attentive to his prey, thief of images as much internal as those coming from the external world. That capturing includes bits of a street poster that stay with me, catchingย an interesting fragment with the objectivity of my camera or simply keeping them in my head, then taking advantage of the inexorable distortion of memory. That is how I confront the creative process, taking successive steps that open unexpected paths, not exempt from accidents that give room for a metamorphosis, with the intervention of the techniques that are needed, be they digital or manualL pencil, charcoal, acrylics, oils, pastels. Feeling and reason in search of a just equilibrium before falling into excess or the abysm.

I opt to distance myself from from the ideal of perfection that leads to disaster. I appeal to the Uninhibited expression toย  escape from everyday life. I bet on the synergy of the meeting, the multiplication of imaginaries together with the viewer.

—Mi trabajo artรญstico estรก dedicado a la narraciรณn de historias personales por medio del arte plรกstico. Me interesan las personas, sus familias y sus trayectorias a travรฉs de las generaciones. Yo exploro cรณmo las familias evolucionan, prosperan o se desintegran; cรณmo circunstancias extremas pueden afectarlas creando historias complejas a la espera de ser contadas. Y para contar estas historias, utilizo genogramas y sus sรญmbolos como lenguaje estรฉtico.

Los genogramas son รกrboles genealรณgicos pictรณricos comรบnmente utilizados en medicina, psicologรญa, trabajo social, investigaciรณn genรฉtica y educaciรณn. Ellos se utilizan para representar eventos como nacimientos, muertes, inmigraciรณn, matrimonio, divorcio, enfermedades fรญsicas o psiquiรกtricas ademรกs de conflictos, emotividad, diรกlogo y comunicaciรณn en el contexto de la familia multi-generacional. Los genogramas se organizan siguiendo patrones hereditarios, y son, por lo tanto, como huellas digitales de la estructura emocional y la historia de una persona en el contexto de su familia. Mi interรฉs en los casos de trauma social me llevรณ a crear nuevos sรญmbolos para poder representar tragedias, violaciones de derechos humanos -como desapariciones y tortura- asรญ como tambiรฉn resiliencia y esperanza. Actualmente estoy trabajando en la historia de Sara Russ y Ruth Weisz, dos mujeres que luego de haber logrado sobrevivir el Holocausto sufrieron aun mรกs pรฉrdidas terribles cuando sus hijos desaparecieron vรญctimas de la Guerra Sucia Argentina.

Sandra Mayo

______________________________________________________

“Iย  consider my art work a practice in storytelling. I am interested in people, in families and their journeys through generations. I explore how families evolve, thrive or disintegrate; how extreme circumstances can impact them creating complex stories awaiting to be told. To tell these stories, I use symbols of genograms as an aesthetic language.

Genograms are pictorial family trees commonly used in medicine, psychology, social work, genetic research and education. They describe events like births, deaths, immigration, marriage, divorce, physical or psychiatric disease, conflicts, emotionality, dialogue and communication organized following hereditary patterns. Genograms are thus fingerprints of the emotional structure and medical history of a person in the context of a family. My interest in cases of social trauma led me beyond the common genogram symbols into the creation of new ones to represent tragedy, human rights violations like disappearances and torture, but also resiliency and hope. I am currently working on the story of Sara Russ and Ruth Weiss, two women who survived the Holocaust only to suffer losses when their sons disappeared in the Argentinean Dirty War.”

Imรกgenes y Palabras

ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย No son los vientos sino las velas las que conducen el viaje.

Imaginรฉ viajรกbamos en tren con gente sencilla

que disfrutรกbamos la exuberancia del paisaje

comentรกbamos la obra de Daumier: “Vagรณn de tercera clase”

y finalmente llegรกbamos a la Casa de los Lรกpices

bautizada asรญ por los vecinos

Imaginรฉ a la luna entre los pinos

a los afinados grillos como seรฑal de alegrรญa

yo preparaba la cena

tu buscabas una flor para la mesa

veรญamos “El Lado Oscuro del Corazรณn”

y junto con Benedetti conversรกbamos hasta el amanecer

de poesรญa.

Nos despertรกbamos con los pรกjaros

y el concierto de las cigarras en el tรณrrido dรญa

el aroma de lavandas

rosas

jazmines

azahares

descubrรญamos en mares teรฑidos de verdes terrosos

azulados plateados y rojizos anaranjados

todo el mundo del color

que visible allรญ estaba.

Entonces decรญas:

-Oh Dulcinea ya es tiempo que los ojos de tu grandeza miren a รฉste

tu cautivo caballero-

Te revelaba mi duda:

– Acaso es anhelo, sueรฑo o sรณlo una ilusiรณn por el reflejo de la luna-?

-ยกQue mi amor es de locura!-(esto no lo dice el Quijote pero se intuye)

Y nos abrazรกbamos entre risas y lรกgrimas

para volver sobre las huellas de nuestros cuerpos en las sรกbanas tibias

todavรญa

y tus caricias encendรญan mis sentidos

entonces imaginรฉ el olor a tierra hรบmeda y a las primeras gotas

que amenazaban la llegada de la lluvia.

El regreso tambiรฉn lo imaginรฉ

al paisaje infinito en movimiento

vendedores ambulantes que iban y venรญan

campos secos quemados por el sol

la humareda ensuciando el atardecer

el aire viciado de la ciudad

y a nosotros

sobre todo nosotros

en medio de una muchedumbre ciega

concebรญamos en silencio nuestra prรณxima aventura.

No imaginรฉ (lo supe al azar)

que otros amores tenรญas

y las palabras, las mรกgicas que misteriosamente

habitaron mi piel

se desmoronaron en cรกscaras vacรญas

hojarasca que soplรณ el espรญritu del viento donde querรญa

Solo quedaron las otras

las que amor duradero no prometรญan.

Imaginรฉ otro lugar con olor a tierra hรบmeda

que anunciaba en el aire

la inminencia de la lluvia.

ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย Admiro su dedicaciรณn, su gran habilidad como maestro de arte y su talento para mantener buenas relaciones con judรญos de toda estirpe. Lo considero como un gran amigo y un artista de primer rango cuya obra que siempreย  me impacta mucho.

ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  For me, Horacio Vodovotz is a Grand-Master of Jewish-Argentine and Jewish-Latin American art. Since the 1960s, he has produced an enormous collection of oil paintings, works of mixed techniques, pastels, in brilliant colors and sometimes soft ones, that treat Jewish themes. His works include Biblical themes, mystical meditations, Hasidic activities and Jewish life in general. Especially, he has dealt with Israelโ€”Jerusalem, old and new, and of Safed, the town of the mystics.

ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  I admire his dedication, his great ability as an art teacher and his talent for maintaining good relations with Jews of all backgrounds.

SOY DE LA TRIBU DE YEHUDร

 

Soy de la tribu de Yehudรก

La de mis abuelos y bisabuelos.

La de Salomรณn, de Jesรบs y Einstein.

Por no citar a Freud,

cuyo valioso secreto cabalรญstico

saltรณ a la silla del terapeuta.

No perdono los miles de holocaustos

que en nombre de fementidas verdades

se urdieron contra mi pueblo,

contra otros pueblos antiquรญsimos,

mรกs sabios que la ley del blanco.

Me horroriza el hombre integrado

a religiosas guerras.

Que somos uno en la inmensa nave

madre tierra, que nos transporta

a ilimitadas dimensiones.

Que todos respiramos un mismo destino.

Soy universal. Simplemente una mujer

que se atreve a soรฑar con una hermandad

de almas y de alas.

Precisamente por mi origen,

comprendo bien la tristeza de otros

venidos a menos por color o รกngulo de los ojos.

ยกQue venga la era del hombre,

maravilloso ser que puebla la existencia!

En รฉl veo รบnico, irrepetible,

mi orgullo de ser mujer.

Tambiรฉn amo al animal y a las plantas

que vivan mis soledades.

Soy judรญa. Tersa hasta la caricia.

Amorosa hasta el รฉxtasis.

I AM OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH

 

I am of the tribe of Judah.

That of my grandparents and great-grandparents.

That of Solomon, of Jesus and Einstein.

Not to mention Freud

whose valuable Kabalistic secret

leaped to the therapistโ€™s chair.

I donโ€™t forgive the thousands of Holocausts

that in the name of false truths

were devised against my people,

against other extremely old peoples.

wiser than the law of the powerful.

I am horrified by the man who takes part in religious wars.

That we are one in the immense ship

Mother Earth, that transports to

unlimited dimensions.

That we all breathe a like destiny.

I am universal. Simply a woman

who dares to dream of a brotherhood

of souls and of wings.

Precisely because of my origin,

I well understand the sadness of others

brought down by color or angle of eyes.

Let the era of man come,

marvelous being who populates existence!

In him, I see as unique, unrepeatable,

my pride of being a woman.

I also love the animal and the plants

that live my solitudes.

I am Jewish. Smooth even to the caress.

Loving even to ecstasy.

CELEBRO MI CEREMONIA

 

Celebro mi ceremonia.

Libertad ilimitada

cubre mi albedrรญo .

Testigo soy del drama.

 

Mi barco se levanta, se hunde,

parece avanzar. Prosigue.

Aunque la tormenta arrecie,

la pesca es prรณdiga.

 

En rendiciรณn total,

me aquieta la furia del ocรฉano .

A รฉl me rendirรฉ con paz .

Pero con paz violenta.

 

Amo este puerto,

sus oscuras costas,

sus verdes mรกgicos, sus ocres .

Su eterno asombro

ante el sol que lo calcina.

 

Profundo, con pasiรณn de amante,

me recibe el mar.

Al tragarse las lรกgrimas de Dios,

s e convierte en su paรฑuelo .

 

El mar de mi serena madurez

se baรฑa en tempestad

que sopla velas .

 

Celebro ceremonias

sin que me hiera el rayo

enamorado del mar que lo aprisiona.

Mi cauce, el mar.

El puerto, mi destino.

He cosechado peces de colores

que alegrarรกn mi paz guerrera.

Mi ceremonia oculta me susurra

la pasiรณn de Dios sobre las aguas.

I CELEBRATE MY CEREMONY

 

I celebrate my ceremony.

Unlimited freedom

Covers over my will.

I am a witness to the drama.

 

My ship, rises, plunges,

seems to advance. It carries on.

Although the storm worsens.

the fishing is prodigious.

 

In total surrender,

I am calmed by the fury of the ocean.

I give myself over to it with peace.

But with a violent peace.

 

I love this harbor,

its hidden coastlines,

its magic greens, its ochers.

Its eternal amazement

before the sun that burns it completely.

 

Profound, with a loverโ€™s passion,

the sea receives me.

Swallowing Godโ€™s tears,

it becomes his handkerchief.

 

The sea of my serene maturity

bathes in the storm

that blows candles out.

 

I celebrate ceremonies

without being wounded by the ray enamored of the sea that traps it.

My channel, the sea.

The port, my destiny.

I have harvested fish of colors

that will brighten my warrior peace.

 

My hidden ceremony whispers to me

Godโ€™s passion over the waters.

A TRASCENDER LA VIDA

 

A trascender la vida aprendo.

No me asustan

Mis velas soplarรกn

con verdes vientos

cuando cruce, de la niebla,

Ansรญo para todos

un brioso despertar

de anhelos lรญmpidos,

palomas recogiendo de mi palma

los granos inocentes.

 

Somos un poco de Ave Fรฉnix

Espiral perpetua hacia la cima,

ondas marineras,

levitando del barro hacia la sangre.

Aunque a veces demos marcha atrรกs,

TO TRANSCEND LIFE

 

I am learning to transcend life.

I am not frightened

by predatory eagles,

or tigers with exhausted eyes

injure my solitary, flourishing brow.

Luminous openings

fully ample,

sweetly sacred

vibrate at my step.

I will arrive with serene maturity

to the mountains.

My candles will blow

with green winds

when the rainbow crosses through

the fog.

I wish for all

a lively awakening

of crystalline desires,

doves collecting from my palm

innocent grains.

We are made of a little of The Phoenix

and a great deal of bonfires.

Perpetual spiral toward the summit,

sailorsโ€™ waves,

hoving from the mud towards the blood.

Although at times we go in reverse

letโ€™s go up, travelers.

SER

 

La profundidad del mar me asombra.

Observo ir y venir las olas

como eterno juego.

Entonces me pregunto:

ยฟEs posible incorporar

esta primigenia fuerza

al quehacer espiritual?

Todo depende del caminante.

De aquel que sepa mirar

con sensibilidad, sin arrogancia.

De aquรฉl que baje a las profundidades

y sorprenda los milagros de ese fondo

insondable que multiplica su pureza

como perlas unidas a las rocas.

El mar es dulce y rugiente.

Como el hombre. Y como รฉl

transmite mensajes al que sepa

arrullarlos en la percepciรณn.

Asรญ se comprende un poco la inmensidad.

Asรญ, la pupila reverdece sus colores

Inacabable, energรญa.

BEING

 

The depth of the sea astonishes me.

I watch the coming and going of the waves

as an eternal game.

Then I ask myself:

is it possible to incorporate

this primitive force

into the spiritual task?

Everything depends on the traveler.

On the one who knows how to watch

with sensitivity, without arrogance.

On that one who goes down to the depths

and surprises the miracles of that unfathomable

bottom that multiplies its purity

like pearls attached to the rocks.

The sea is sweet and bellowing.

Like man. And the way that he

passes messages to the one who knows

how to lull them asleep in the perception.

So the immensity is understood a little.

So, the pupil gives off its colors

more crystalline, more beautiful.

Endless, energy.

So, the pupil gives off its colors

more crystalline, more beautiful

Endless, energy.

PUNTA LEONA

al Lic. Moisรฉs Fachler

La visiรณn del mar se me torna beatรญfica

al unirse con el bosque.

Vuelan en formaciรณn las gaviotas,

leves, desvelando a los pececillos dormidos,

coloreados por el vaivรฉn del mar

ora azul, ora verde esmeralda.

Dulce y misterioso, el bosque.

Azuladas, las palmeras

se reรบnen en enjambre con los cedros

y los malinches centenarios.

En ese borde รบnico se pierden

arena y cielo en cรณpula amorosa

de encuentros inmortales.

Es reverdecer un gรฉnesis

siempre vigente, que jamรกs muere

ni se desgasta con los aรฑos.

No pasa el tiempo. Se detiene. ยกEs revelaciรณn!

El ojo, รกvido de colores,

encuentra el cenit de su horizonte,

se abrillanta en el contraste

de las olas con la tierra.

Ahรญ vive la primigenia creaciรณn

que el poeta canta: la รบnica belleza inmaculada del universo.

La verdad de un รณsculo milenario

y misterioso que se revela en la pupila.

Se acerca el momento de mi verdad.

Con jรบbilo, una sonrisa borda mi mejilla.

PUNTA LEONA

to Lic. Moisรฉs Fachler

The vision of the sea makes me blessed

When it joins forces with the forest.

The gulls fly in formation,

light, waking up the small, sleeping fish,

colored by the rolling of the sea

now blue, now emerald green.

Sweet and mysterious, the forest.

Bluish, the palm trees

swarm together with the cedars

and the hundred year old malinches.

On that unique border are lost

sand and sky in amorous copulation

of immortal meetings.

It is to make green again a genesis

always in force, that never dies

nor wears out with the passing years.

Time doesnโ€™t pass. It stops. It is

revelation!

The eye, avid for colors,

finds the zenith of its horizon.

polishes itself with the contrast

between the waves and the earth.

There lives the primitive creation

of which the poet sings: the only immaculate beauty in the universe.

The truth of a millennial and mysterious

kiss that is revealed in the pupil.

My moment of truth is approaching.

With jubilation, a smile embroiders my cheek.

ย ___________________________________________________

โ€œUna de las cosas mรกs importantes que me pasaron en la vida, ocurriรณ antes de que yo nacieraโ€.Esta sola frase da cuenta de una marca que recibรญ y que atraviesa toda mi vida y tambiรฉn mi obra. Soy hija de padres sobrevivientes de Auschwitz. Mi papรก polaco y mi mamรก hรบngara; llegaron a Argentina como tantos otros; buscando refugio huyendo de una Europa que no los querรญa y que los despojรณ de toda su vida. Nacรญ en una casa en la que no habรญa fotos ni objetos que hubieran pertenecido a nadie antes de mis padres. Crecรญ abrazada por brazos numerados.

En mi casa se hablaba otro idioma, es asรญ que aprendรญ variantes de la llamada โ€œlengua maternaโ€, y muchas veces me sentรญ extranjera en mi propia patria.

Creo que mi deseo de ser artista naciรณ a partir de la necesidad de tener objetos que me sobrevivieran. Toda mi obra estรก atravesada por la Memoria y la Identidad. Esos son mis grandes temas.Mi trabajo se centra en los temas que muestran mi identidadย judรญo-argentina.

Somos quienes somos mรกs allรก de nuestra intenciรณn; yo siento que transmito la verdad de mi esencia.

Lo que no se puede ver; el arte debe mostrarlo. Ese es mi compromiso.

Mirta Kupferminc

_________________________________________

โ€œOne of the most important events in my life took place before I was born.โ€ This phrase alone explains a wound I received that goes through all my life and also my work. I am the daughter of parents who were survivors of Auschwitz. My Polish father and my Hungarian mother arrived in Argentina, like so many others, seeking refuge, fleeing a Europe that did want them and that deprived them of their entire lives. I was born in a home that didnโ€™t have photos or objects that had belonged to anyone who preceded my parents. I grew up embraced by numbered hands.

In my home, another language was spoken, so that I learned variations of the so-called โ€œmother tongue,โ€ and often, I felt like a stranger in my own land.

I believe that my desire to become an artist was born from the necessity to have objects that would survive me. All of my work is infused with Memory and identity. These are my central over-arching themes.

My work is centered in the themes that show my Jewish-Argentine Identity.

We are who we are, beyond our own intention; I feel that I transmit the truth of my essence.

What cannot be seen; art should show. This is my commitment.
