About The Artist:
Moshe Mokady was born in Tarnow, Poland, and moved with his family to Vienna in 1914 where he studied painting under Lasar Krestin. His family later moved to Zurich where they stayed for four years between 1916 and 1920. During this time Mokady studied music and painting, becoming particularly interested in the work of Swiss symbolist artist Fredinand Hodler. Tulips clearly demonstrates the influence that Hodler
had on Mokady’s art.
In 1920 Mokady immigrated to Palestine and between 1920 and 1927 he became a prominent participant in the first exhibitions of Israeli art. In a review of Mokady’s exhibition at Roger Breval Gallery in Cairo in 1926, Paul Haessaerts writes:”... Mokady’s development reveals the influences he absorbed. On seeing his work, one recalls all the young painting in Europe- Hodler, Schiele, ...the objects do not receive their light from the outside: they them self radiate light through the gentle impact of their colour.” (Paul Haessaerts, ‘Le peintre Mokady’, Le Magazine Egyptien, 23 November 1926, quoted in Moshe Mokady, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, exhibition catalogue, 1999, p.65).
