Winner of the 2020 Maratier Prize awarded by the Pro mahJ foundation, the visual artist Dove Allouche was invited to take a creative look at the mahJ collections, to produce an original work.
Thanks to an exceptional loan from the Bat Yam Museum (Israel), the mahJ is presenting, as part of its collections, a group of early works by Issachar Ber Ryback (Elisavetgrad, 1897 - Paris, 1935), a key artist in the renaissance of Jewish art in Russia.
In the words of critic Chil Aronson, Esther Carp (1897-1970) is "one of the most gifted women painters of the École de Paris". On the occasion of the recent donation of five works and a set of archives, the mahJ invites you to rediscover the artist through a presentation combining its own collections and external loans.
