  My Jewish Learning - Culture: Mordecai Ardon
Mordecai Ardon's painting Sarah (1947) depicts the biblical matriarch in a blazing red dress, amidst a sea of blue-purple cloudy forms.
Ardon (1896-1992) has been called "Israel's greatest painter," and whether this is true (Israel has produced many phenomenal artists, including E. Lilien and Hermann Struck), he mixed a modern mode of paint application (bold and heavy) with a love of the European Old Masters, such as da Vinci and Rembrandt.
Ardon's observant father--who enjoyed regaling his son with Hasidic tales--reluctantly agreed, but he insisted that Ardon receive a formal Jewish education of Torah and Talmud, as well.

 ARTMUSEUM.CZ    Mordecai Ardon
Mordecai Ardon Bauhaus Abstraktní expresionismus * 1896 - 1992 Izrael, Německo Abstraktní malíř Mordecai Ardon bývá mnohými uměleckými kritiky považován za největšího izraelského umělce.
Ardon vždy věřil v čisté umění, které by se vyvarovalo vlivů politické nebo společenské problematiky a zastával názor, že obrazy by měly být ceněny a hodnoceny výhradně podle základních uměleckých prvků, za které považoval barvu, kompozici a jejich souhru.
I když se Ardon ze všech sil snažil tyto své zásady zachovávat, pod vlivem válečných událostí vytvořil také několik děl, které se přímo vztahují ke společenským problémům, antiválečným myšlenkám a boji proti násilí.

 ARDON Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Mordecai Ardon (1896-1992) is considered by many to be Israel's greatest painter.
Ardon's unique position in Modern Art stems from the union of these two opposites in his paintings: A Modern, Expressionist, and mainly Abstract, style, with the classical painting technique of the Old Masters.
In a letter to Willem Sandberg, the legendary director of the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam (and later, the first director of the Israel Museum), he acknowledges this inner conflict, which he likens to the historic conflict between Athens and Jerusalem.

MORDECAI ARDON (1896-1992) sang a hymn of praise in a large triptych title "In the Gates of Jerusalem." In 1965, Ardon had painted "Night of the Ascents" another Jerusalem triptych entirely in the gloom of chaos, agony, and lament.
