The art of painting is as old as humanity. From the prolific artists of the Lascaux caves in France to the eternal masterpieces of Renaissance artists of Monet and van Gogh, art has played an aesthetic role through the ages. With a variety of different schools of art forms coming up, the painter art was launched into classical societies with frescoes and murals. The different forms of art of painters were developed into several styles including historical, religious, allegorical, landscape and still life over the years.
Coming to the aspect of Israeli painter art, it came into prominence at the time of Cezannian rebellion and is marked by rapid stylistic changes. Reuven Rubin, one of the leading artists in Israel began his career at the time when Israeli art was beginning to flourish and develop. The history of the country and the unrest is depicted well within the paintings of that era. The world renowned Cezannesque landscapes of Rubin of 1920s have a distinct style and the amalgamation of both modern and native styles. They portray the inhabitants and landscape of Israel in an elegant style.
Israeli art was given impetus with the success of Reuyen Rubin and the recurring themes of the paintings included Arabs and Jews while the sunny depictions of Jerusalem were one of the main themes. Other themes included folklore, biblical landscapes and people carrying on with their daily tasks. In 1924, he was the pioneer artists to hold a solo exhibition in Jerusalem at the Tower of David. Experts have linked his style to that of Rousseau and the intense exposure to Byzantine art of Romania, where he was a native of. His much read biography, 'My life- My Art' was published in 1969 and most of his paintings were donated to the city of Tel Aviv.
The trend of painter art in Israel has caught the fancy of people worldwide and as more art galleries present the work of talented artist, the art market has visibly grown in the nation. In 2007, at the art auction of Sotheby in New York, Rubin's work was in the top ten slots of artists. That is the true value of painter art in the realm of art connoisseurs. The appreciation of painter art has grown in demand not only in Israel but all over the world and more artists are holding solo exhibitions with larger audience appreciation. If you are interested in buying or viewing painter art, there are numerous websites that showcase the great talent of artists online.
