But it was in Israel during the 1950s that Fima made contacts with contemporary art and gradually developed a new language of painting.
But he kept his Jerusalem studio, and his close contacts with the Israeli art scene, by exhibiting regularly at the Bineth gallery and by taking part in numerous export group shows of Israeli art, such as the 1964 Art Israel shown at the New York Museum of Modern Art.
With the support of art historian Avram Kampf, Fima exhibited at the Jewish Museum in New York in 1972, and was later included in the wide-ranging survey From Chagall to Kitaj: Jewish Experience in 20th Century Art, held at the Barbican Centre, London, in 1990.

 The Observer | Review | Architecture: Museum of Modern Art, New York
It is 75 years since New York opened the Museum of Modern Art, the world's first such institution, and everybody else is still trying to catch up.
This is not an extension, or a remodelling, it is an entirely new museum, with twice as much gallery space as the old one.
It has turned out to be a far more traumatic solution to the growing pains of a museum, one that involved running the place down for two years, then closing altogether and moving to a temporary base in suburban Queens while the majority of the collection was put in storage, and the rest toured.

The inside space is a continual upwards movement using a six-floor spiral with galleries which spread out from the first ramp indicated by a large water fountain in the central room on the ground floor.
In "the cathedral of art", observes Zevi, "Wright proposes a stroll through art, a road similar to a super-garage extending that of the city, enclosing it in an open spiral to re-converge with the urban context.
At the different levels the various sectors of the exhibition are divided by separating elements which receive external light from a continual series of glass window slits, the main font of illumination, which introduce an interesting co-efficiency of variability linked to the alternating of day and night.

 Haber's Art Reviews: Cy Twombly at the Modern   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Yet any image of a "great-society" program for modern art is misleading, even if museums exploit it for sanctimonious displays of abstraction.
Late modern art would thus be the single greatest exemplar of a postmodern critique—and also the great exception.
Fine art that reveals itself slowly and graciously probably has to be of a second generation, and sometimes in life that is more than enough.

 WebMuseum: Gauguin, (Eugène-Henri-) Paul
His attitudes to art were deeply influenced by his experience of its first exhibition, and he himself participated in those of 1880, 1881 and 1882.
His meeting with van Gogh, the influence of Seurat, the doctrines of Signac, and a rediscovery of the merits of Degas--especially in his pastels--all combined with his own streak of megalomania to produce a style that had little in common with the thoughtful lyricism of the work of his erstwhile mentor Pissarro.
Gauguin's art has all the appearance of a flight from civilisation, of a search for new ways of life, more primitive, more real and more sincere.
