David A. Sidlow Takes Painter Jossi Stern Sings of Israel THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Bride, Lorry Ann Epps for an Applauding American Audience Joan Siegel to Marry
BY CHARLOTTE HYAMS
during World War II in Hun-
Jossi Stern's teacher once told gary, was adopted by a prominent Robert Brookes in Fall

him to take a lesson from the pat-
riarch Jacob: "Fight with your art
as Jacob fought with the angel."
"He told me to look around, to
look forward and backward and
into myself if I would be a paint-
er."
Stern became a painter — one
of Israel's foremost — and he con-
tinues to look around . . . at the
old Jerusalem quarter, at the fish-
ermen on Lake Kinneret, at Safed
and Ein Kerem, at the Bible.

MRS. DAVID A. SIDLOW

Northern Canada was the honey-
moon destination of the newly-
wed David A. Sidlows following
their late afternoon wedding Sun-
day at Cong. Shaarey Zedek.
The bride, Lorry Ann Epps, is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Epps of Strathcona Dr. Her hus-
band is the son of Dr. and Mrs.
Leonard Sidlow of Argyle Cresent
Dr.
A dinner in the garden of the
bride's parents followed the cere-
mony.

She wore an Empire, princess-
styled gown of re-embroidered
Alencon lace on English net
over silk peau de soie. A lace
toque held the full-length veil of
silk illusion, and she carried
gardenias on her Bible.

All are facets of the life he
knows, and they emerge in vib-
rant colors and careful geomet-
ric shapes, often joyful, occas-
ionally solemn. Walt Whitman
is the name Stern uses for mod-
est comparisons; one day he
would like to be thought of as
Israel's Walt Whitman.

Stern's works were on exhibit
this week at Hadassah House,
courtesy of the Safrai Gallery of
Jerusalem. (Safrai made the ar-
rangements with Hadassah because
Stern, on a UNESCO fellowship
in this country, is technically a
student and unable to exhibit his
own works here.)
His Detroit visit was more like
a reunion than a business trip.
Staying with a cousin, Leslie
Share, in Saginaw, he also spent
some time here with members of
the Hordes family, who are second
cousins.

German -Trade Unions
Demand Anti-Bias Law

BONN (JTA) — The executive
of the 6,000,000-member German
Trades Union Congress sent a de:
mand to the West German govern-
ment for action to implement a
resolution approved by the Con-
gress calling for a federal law to
ban race hatred propaganda.
A letter to Chancellor Ludwig
Erhard and leaders of the three
parliamentary parties from the
labor organization pointed out that
while Article 26 of the West Ger-
man constitution forbids all activi-

family in Israel. "But I think of
them very much as my own.")
One of the most striking paint-
ings in the collection is labeled
Not for Sale because Stern is do-
nating it to a synagogue in memory
of an uncle. Vivid with reds and
greens, the painting depicts two
bearded rabbis carrying the Tora
scrolls on Simhat Tora.

A second painting that is NOt
for Sale is a favorite of his:
Citadel of David, a glowing
sweep of gold from the foot to
the heights of Mt. Zion in Jer-
usalem, the Golden City.

David is an important figure -to
Stern, who uses him several times
as a biblical theme. Composer
Leonard Bernstein chose one of
his paintings of David with the
harp for the cover of an album.
Stern said most of his paintings
have been sold to Americans —
as many as 70 per cent. Even as
the exhibit was opening at Had-
assah House, chairmen were hur-
rying up to Stern to announce new
sales of his work.
Prior to the showing here,
Stern's paintings were on display
in Cleveland and New York.
A good-looking, young-looking
bachelor of 43, Stern speaks en-
thusiastically of the audience that
has called him "the artist with a
smile."

"Visitors to Israel say they
feel a need for religious and
biblical themes. They are thir-
sty for this, and I am glad, as
an artist, to fill the need."

It is a slightly different public
that enjoys his work in Israel.
"They like modern landscapes, ab -
stract buildings.
"My only difficulty there is with
the avant garde. Not that I'm
against it, but we aren't in our new
country long enough to be ab-
stract. We are living in a Renais-
sance, and our generation hasn't
the right to take the enormous
step to abstract art. We have our
special air, our special light, our
special flora — so we must make
a special Israel art."
He admitted, with some chagrin,
that the teacher who influenced
him in his work, Mordecai Ardon,
has himself been leaning toward
abstract art.
"I myself am experimenting,"
he said. "I don't even know what
will come next and how I will paint
when I return to my country."

ties which could disturb peaceful
co-existence among the West Ger-
man people, there was no precise
law on the problem.

"But what I have always tried
to 'do is take that ancient cul-
ture that is Israel and express
it in a modern language."

Stern's unmistakable language
is translated into lively pen-ink
drawings, as well as oils and wat-
ercolors. Some of the amusement
he finds in life is best expresed
here — in his sketches of young
Jerusalem students, with earlocks
and frock coats.
But most unforgettable are his
glowing oils. The portraits of
Jerusalem life sing of Stern's love
for his adopted land.

(A Seven Arts Feature)

On meeting President Zalman
Shazar of Israel on his recent visit
to the United States, Governor
Rockefeller of New York remarked
that their personal lives were
linked by a woman. When the
President raised his eyebrows in
disbelief, the Governor asked him
whether he remembered "the
charming young Israeli woman"
Lea Ostrovsky Ben Boaz who had
been his special assistant some
years ago. Shazar nodded yes,
obviously baffled now by the
knowledge the Governor was dis-
playing of his personal affairs.
However, Mr. Rockefeller quickly
put him at ease. "You see, Mr.
President," the Governor explained
with a smile, ,"the young lady who
had been your assistant is now
married to Leslie Slete, my very
able press secretary, an . event
which both Les and I regard as an
extremely favorable U.S. balance
of trade with Israel."
