Cilla.
Oil on canvas. Signed by the artist in Hebrew and dated lower right. Framed. 40 x 40 inches; 100 x 100 cm.
Tel Aviv, 1965.
Yehezkel Streichman (1906-93) emigrated to Palestine from Kovno, Lithuania in 1924 and studied at Bezalel, followed by time in Paris and Florence, before returning to Eretz Israel where he joined Kibbutz Ashdot. Streichman's abstract style is innovative, characterized by fierce brush strokes and dark colors. One can detect the French influence of Picasso's geometry and Matisse's color palette in his style of lyrical abstraction. The present work is a portrait of Streichman's muse, his wife Cilla, who appears in many of his portraits.
