Genesis, Gur Arieh Meir, 28 silhouettes, published by "Bnei Bezelel", 1934. Good condition.
Meir Gur Aryeh, Israeli, born in the Russian Empire, 1891-1951.
Meir Gur Aryeh was born Meir Gorodetsky (Horodetzky) in Bobruisk, Russia (now Belarus) to a Hasidic family. After studying art in Russia, he was invited to continue his studies at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem. After immigrating to Israel, his family changed its name to "Gur Aryeh". After completing his studies, he was appointed head of the department of drawing, ivory and amulets at the school. He was a member of the Menorah group and one of the founders of the Hebrew Artists Association in 1920, and served for a period of time as secretary. In 1923, he founded with Ze'ev Raban the "House of Work for Industrial Art". Among the well-known works created in this framework were the decorations for the YMCA building in Jerusalem.
Gur Aryeh's works are characterized by a clean sketch line and on topics such as descriptions of Jewish and Israeli characters. Among the well-known works of Gur Aryeh is this series of silhouettes from the 1920's that depict Jewish pioneers.
