Exhibitions

In 1971, the Haifa Museum of Art held a retrospective exhibition for Shmuel Bonneh. Almost 50 years later, the Mané-Katz Museum is proud to present Bonneh's rich artistic career, in an exhibition showing a selection of his best works.

The story of the Golem – a staple of Jewish folklore – describes a being made of clay and brought to life using secret incantations. This act straddles the boundary between the godlike and the sinful, between wisdom and witchcraft. The legend about the man-made creature expresses a desire for power, control, and convenience. These desires continue to animate the heart of man to this day.

This exhibition focuses on the sensual, the erotic, the instinctual, at times the tempestuous and even hedonistic aspect of Mané-Katz's art.

You are cordially invited to the opening of the exhibition

From the 1920s until the outbreak of WWII, many Israeli artists went to study in Paris, the art capital of the world at that time.

Changes in the status of the Jews of Europe in the 19th century gave rise to the appearance of Jewish artists who had studied in European art academies and schools. The prevailing realistic style together with the ethno-European background of various nationalities encouraged the creation of an artistic genre portraying Jewish life

The Bible has been a source of inspiration for many artists throughout the ages, but it seems that few of them devoted so many works to biblical themes as did Chagal.
