Beginning Monday and lasting
through Wednesday, the Temple
Sisterhood will sponsor an art
exhibit by the eminent Polish
Jewish painter, Ira Moskowitz.
Mr. Moskowitz has exhibited
his work in many cities of this
country and has everywhere won
the highest praise at the hands of
critics. Most of his scenes are laid
in either Palestine, Mexico, or the
United States.
One of the critics has said of
him: "Mr. Moskowitz is an accom-
plished artist and his pastels
could well adorn the walls of any
European or American gallery."
Speaking of his Palestinian work,
Pesah Ginsburg writes, "He has
caught both the glow of the shift-
ing lights and the austere spirit
of the Judaean landscape. The
blues and reds and mauves he
loves best are to be found in
plenty in every nook of Jerusa-
lem and on every turn of the road
in Palestine."
Mr. Moskowitz was born in 1913
in the little town of Turka in
the heart of the Carpathian Moun-
tains in Austrian Poland, the son
of an old family of rabbis and
scholars. When the World War
broke out, the family moved to
Pragfue where they stayed until
after the War, settling in 1920
in the city of Strjy, where the
artist's maternal grandfather was
grand rabbi. It was in the home
and under the tutelage of this
patriarch that Ira was steeped
in Chasidic lore and Hebrew tra-
dition. In 1927, the family moved
to the United States and here he
came under the inspiring direc-
tion of Harry Wickey, graphic ar-
tist, painter and sculptor, of Corn-
wall Landing, N. Y. Under Mr.
Wickey's guidance, Moskowitz de-
veloped skill in the media of etch-
ing, lithography and drawing.
At the Detroit exhibit he will
show between 60 and 70 pictures.
On Monday evening, in connection
with the assembly of Beth El Col-
lege, Mr. Moskowitz will give an
illustrated address on the subject,
"Jewish Art." The public is in-
vited. There will be no admission
charge.
