Theo Tobiasse / Boas Toorgeman / Tumarkin Igael

Israelian art can be admired at various places in my Blogs

and in fact Theo Tobiasse (France) is responsible for the

heritage of jewish art a bit similar to Marc Chagall and

in France the still active Raya Sorkine. Litho.

For people who are wondering wether if the signature

on their work is OK. This one fits the examples found on 

the internet! Edition 88 out of 99 examples.

Boas Toorgeman (1963)

Though this crayon is not signed, other works by this artist

makes it clear this work to be a genuine one. Presented

here is the singer and actrice Cher who became famous

as a duo singing "I got you babe". Toorgeman goes to

the extreme and tries to catch a character as well in

his works, often with crayon,watercolour and pencil.

This work has been done in crayon. Modigliani could

have been an inspiration though his women are always

anonymous as opposed to the women of Toorgeman.

Boaz Toorgeman came to Belgium in 1984 but in fact

was born in Haifa, Israel in 1963.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 50 / 72 cm.

Igael Tumarkin

One way or another I keep being attracted to Israëlien

artists. Tumarkin is well known for his sculpture installations
in Tel Aviv among others. His work has been represented
by many of the more famous worlwide museums:
New York Metropolitan Museum and Tate Gallery (London)
and many more. Dimensions 60 - 80 cm.
