The group evolved into a coherent artistic movement only after the founding of the state of Israel in 1948. Members of the school included Arie Aroch, Zvi Meirowitch, Avraham Naton (Natanson), Avigdor Stematsky and Yehezkel Streichman. The work of sculptor Dov Feigin also appeared in the catalog of the 1942 exhibition, though it was not displayed. In February 1947 five of the original members of the group joined Joseph Zaritsky for an exhibit called \"The Group of Seven\" at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.[1] Members of the group stated that \"The group is based in modernism, especially French, yet seeks a unique style that expresses our own reality\".[2]For these artists, this was not only a statement of philosophy, but a practical work plan. Zaritsky, who served as chairman of the League of Painters and Sculptors in the Land of Israel, opposed the league\'s philosophy of equality among artists. In 1948, at the time of the opening of the artists\' house that was to become the League\'s permanent home, he was delegated to select works for the Bienniale in Venice. His selections caused such an outrage among the members that he was ousted from his position. He walked out with a group of artists, and founded an alternative movement, the \"New Horizons\". On 9 November 1948, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art opened the first exhibit bearing the movement\'s name. Among the artists showing were Pinchas Abramovich, Marcel Janco, Aharon Kahana, Yohanan Simon, Avshalom Okashi and Moshe Castel, as well as movement founders Zaritsky, Streichman and Feigin.The group sought a style that reflected the striving for Zionism and Modernism. This style was largely dictated by the leading artists of the group - Zaritsky, Stematsky Mairovich and Streichman. In practice, this style was a variant of European modernism. The style has been called \"lyrical abstract\", but in fact, there was little purely abstract art, but rather works rooted in the local visual landscape. This essentially figurative style was pushed toward the abstract by bold brush strokes, and a strong use of bright colors typical of the \"Land of Israel\" style, reflecting the strong Mediterranean light. Formats were generally rather small, and the style was similar to European abstract art before the second World War, akin to the art of Wassily Kandinsky, and unlike the abstract art prevalent in the United States at the time.For example, in his series \"Yehiam\" (1949–1952), Zaritsky depicts scenes from the establishment of Kibbutz Yehiam in northern Israel. The early paintings in this series (mostly watercolors) depict the natural landscapes of the region, while the later paintings are (mostly oil) abstractions of these earlier scenes. This progression, contends art critic and curator Mordecai Omer, reflects Zaritsky\'s belief that external visual reality is the basis of artistic originality.[3]Zvi Meirovich, a prominent members of Okakim Hadashim he painted in the abstract lyric style but unlike his colleagues Mairovich was more inclined to a German rather than a French pallette. Hs bold use of black and reds particularly in the gouaches. The big breakthrough was in oil pastels, that only he made in large format. Using a deep space photo surface rather than a flat paper was pioneering moment.Others in the group, however, deviated from this style. Marcel Janco, of international fame for his involvement in the Dada movement in Europe in the 1930s, did not adopt this approach to abstraction; rather his art uses European Cubist and Expressionist styles to create a Jewish-Zionist narrative. Moshe Castel, also, went through a transformation during the 1950s from abstraction to expressionism characteristic of the Canaanist movement.In the field of sculpture, the group introduced new media. Yechiel Shemi, Dov Feigin, and, after a sojourn in Britain, Itzhak Danziger, introduced welded steel as a new medium. This new form freed these artists from the figurative character of stone and wood carving, for a more purely abstract oeuvre. Here, too, however, there is frequent reference to the Canaanite figurativeness and symbolism.Indeed, during the 1950s, the \"New Horizons\" group tended more and more toward the abstract, and away from reliance on the figurative. Zaritsky led this shift, which was rooted in what he saw as a guiding ideology. Some members of the group, however, rejected this ideology, and eventually quit the movement. These included Janco, Aharon Kahana and Yehiel Simon.[4]Group members• Arie Aroch• Zvi Meirovich• Avraham Naton (Natanson)• Avigdor Stematsky• Yehezkel Streichman• Dov Feigin• Joseph Zaritsky• Pinchas Abramovich• Marcel Janco• Shmuel Raayoni• Aharon Kahana• Yohanan Simon• Avshalom Okashi• Moshe Castel• Avigdor Renzo Luisada• Mordechai Arieli• Itzhak Danziger• Jacob Wexler• Moshe Propes• Robert Baser• Ruth Zarfati• Chaim Kiewe• Moshe Sternschuss• Yechiel Shemi• Kosso Elouloffer now don\'t forget You might lose this item.I respect combine delivery enjoythis profit.Can ship on request on surface cheap deliveryin Israel delivered only by 6$ combine to 2 kg!!!PLEASE CLICK \" VIEW MY OTHER sale \"AND MY storeABOVE, to see some more INTERESTING AND RARE JUDAICA items .THIS LIST is part of my PRIVATE collection Please note:Please refine your search by using a main CODE like for example \"ART\" or \"HAGGADAH\" or \"HASSIDIC \" or \"KABBALAH\" or \"PALESTINIANA\" or JUDAICA \" or \"ISRAELIANA\" in the small window at the top left corner of the store PAGE .Please DO NOT mark \"TITLE & DESCRIPTION\" but ONLY \"TITLE \" then you\'ll receive EXACTLY what you are looking for.My STORE is REFRESHENED and RENEWED on a WEEKLY basis with many new items added. it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to keep watching it on a regular basis.
