Original Illustrations for the Torah Portions - Michal Meron
Fifty-four original illustrations for the Torah Portions by Michal Meron. Watercolor on thick paper. Signed.
54 sheets of paper. Each sheet is dedicated to one of the Torah portions, and includes a series of small illustrations. The illustrations depict the key events in the portion and are accompanied by verses from the Torah or from the Haftarah, Hebrew and English. The illustrations are brightly colored and are drawn in a naive style that is emblematic of Meron’s work. In her definition, this style allows her to address the "child that resides within the adult”. The illustration of the fifty-four Parashot lasted for four years.
Michal Meron was born in Haifa. She studied art in Vienna (Austria), and at the Academic College of Tel-Hai. Her works, which deal with Jewish subject matters, were exhibited in private galleries and in Jewish museums in the U.S. and across Europe.
Attachment: The Illustrated Torah, Illustrated Sidrot and Haftarot. Paintings by Michal Meron. Published by "The Studio in Old Jaffa" and “Gefen”, 2000. English. English translation of the Torah, with illustrations by Michal Meron - Details from the sheets before us.
