Moshe Gershuni (1936-2017) "Untitled" Limited Edition Mixed Media on Paper. Medium: Aquatint, Sugar-Lift, Soft Ground and Electric Pencil. Moshe Gershuni was an Israeli painter and sculptor. In his works, particularly in his paintings from the 1980s, he expressed a position different from the norm, commemorating The Holocaust in Israeli art. In addition, he created in his works a connection between bereavement and homoerotic sexuality, in the way he criticized society and Israeli Zionism-nationalism. He was awarded the Israel Prize for Painting for his work in 2003, but in the end it was revoked and he was deprived of receiving the prize. Moshe Gershuni is a painter and sculptor born in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1936. Gershuni’s family emigrated from Poland, and was able to save several (but not all) family members from the Nazis. Like many Jews arriving in Israel at the time, Gershuni was greatly influenced by the cloud of World War II for the rest of his life. Gershuni said in an interview, “it was in my consciousness, it was almost the center of my consciousness, in spite of the fact that my early years included the founding of the State and the war with the Arabs, but everything was a function of that experience.” Gershuni didn’t pursue his career in art until his father’s death in 1960 when he began night classes at the Avni Institute of Art and Design. His early sculptural work was abstract and influenced by the Pop Art scene of the 1960s. As his style progressed he began to incorporate elements of minimalism, and started using found objects in his work including tires and inner tubes. His work turned more conceptual after this period, owing influence from American conceptual artists of the time, Vito Acconci and Bruce Nauman. In a studio interview Gershuni reflected on how the Holocaust remained a focal point, “it was in my consciousness, it was almost the center of my consciousness, in spite of the fact that my early years included the founding of the State and the war with the Arabs, but everything was a function of that experience.” Moshe Gershuni’s work, while somewhat controversial, has had a widespread influence on Israeli art. He received the Israel Prize for art in 2003, however due to his refusal to shake the hand of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had the award subsequently revoked. In spite of this a retrospective of Gershuni’s work was put together at the Tel Aviv museum in 2010. Artist: Moshe Gershuni Title: "Untitled" Medium: Ltd. Ed.
