Jews: Revolutionizing Art

January 30th, 2012 | Posted by orens in Art For Sale | Judaica - (0 Comments)

Jewish art paintingsJewish artists have long been an important part of the contemporary art world. Not just in visual arts but in entertainment, writing, and dance. Since there have been Jews, there has been Jewish art. Even today they continue to break creative boundaries and forge new artistic paths.

Who could forget the contributions of Jewish artist Peter Max? His work has appeared on everything from stamps to airplanes to canvases. His bold colors and articulate brushwork became a hallmark of his style and are often imitated even today.

The work of artist Yaacov Agam can be seen all over Israel and across the world. He takes bright colors and incorporates them into large scale designs and structures.  His credits include the world’s largest menorah and many tall, brightly colored buildings.

To this tradition we add Rabbi Moully. His fresh approach to Jewish art paintings is redefining genre norms in the world of religious and pop art. His bright scenes of stoic orthodox Jewish life shed life on the vibrant spiritual world of Judaism. If you wish to own or commission one of his unique pieces go to his website. There you can see work for sale and even commission a piece.

Chassidim of Color

January 24th, 2012 | Posted by orens in Chassidic Art - (0 Comments)

Jewish artColor is not typically associated with the Chassidic community. In fact it is usually associated with an absence of color. Rabbi Yitzchok Moully is changing all that with his colorful art. Moully’s art is colorful and accessible but is also spiritually significant. Moully is putting the world of staunch Jewish art on its head with his colorful depictions.

Whereas most people dismiss the Chadic world as an artistic dead zone, Moully draws his inspiration from the richness of Chasidic life and community. His work is sure to change minds about the Chadic world. Moully’s creative styling are a compelling blend of Judaic art and pop art. Fans of the two radically different genres are going to find common ground in Moully’s work.

There have been many great Jewish pop artists throughout history like Roy Lichenstien, Alex Katz and Tom Wesselmann. No one has yet combined Jewish art with pop art however; this innovation is Moully’s creation. Those offended by what they deem to be vulgarity in pop art need not worry about being offended by Moully’s more family friendly sensibility.

Check out Moullys work online. You can also use his website to contact him, commission work, or send e-cards of his work to friends and loved ones.

Jewish Art For The Spirit

December 28th, 2011 | Posted by timd in Art For Sale | Chassidic Art | Judaica | Pop Art - (0 Comments)

Yitzchok Moully describes himself as “a Rabbi by day and an artist by night.” But the two parts of his person are clearly on display in everything he does. Certainly when it comes to his art his great muse is certainly the Judaic culture he is dedicated to constantly. He imbues each piece with some important piece of Judaism, from religious figures to significant religious symbols his art carries with it the weight that a Rabbi brings to everything he does.

This is to everyone’s benefit. The more we are surrounded by the deep religious and spiritual value easily found in this contemporary Jewish art the more indelible the connections between that spirit and our lives becomes. We can more wholly embrace the Jewish religion by surrounding ourselves with it more and more often in increasingly engaging ways.

This is the fantastic service that Yitzchok Moully provides to all who see his works. You become closer to your own spiritual center through Moully’s religious expression. That is why these prints of these brightly colorful, fun and ultimately quite invigorating pieces of Jewish art are such great gifts and real investments in your family home. They make the whole place brighter and your attention to what is truly important sharper.

Jewish Pop Culture At A Breaking Point?

November 22nd, 2011 | Posted by timd in Art For Sale | Chassidic Art | Judaica - (0 Comments)

There is clearly a movement of like minded people beginning to take hold and Yitzchok Moully is an inextricable part of that movement. A few weeks ago Moully became the first ever Jewish Artist of the week at a blog called Pop Chassid. Pop Chassid is dedicated to finding artists and parts of culture where traditional Judaic values are imbued and help come to define pop products. From rap music to comic books, there is currently a forward thinking movement that popular culture needs an injection of some traditional Jewish flavor and there is a wealth of folks ready to contribute.

Jewish art of course has always played a large part in the art world at large. Jewish artists account for much of several wide swaths of our popular culture. That said it seemed exceedingly rare that their overall Jewish-ness guided and defined the work they did. Bob Dylan for example played a huge role in the changing world of pop music but not before changing his name from Zimmerman to Dylan. Jon Stewart made a similar switch and while many will say that Yiddish linguistics and Judaic teachings can still be found through out their work what Yitzchok Moully and the writers at Pop Chassid are looking for are Jewish artists that are more fundamentally Jewish.

November 17th, 2011 | Posted by timd in Art For Sale | Chassidic Art | Judaica | Pop Art - (0 Comments)

Fans of the work of Yitzchok Moully have a lot of pieces to chose from if they are hoping to own a piece of this captivating and unique artist. It is the most positive aspect of the Pop Art world that through fairly consistent print making the prices and availability of these exciting pieces are somewhat democratized.

If you are looking to decorate your home in a style that is both indebted to the routes of Judaica but also hyper modern to match perhaps the fashionable furniture and color scheme of your home these pieces are ideal. The mixture of old iconography and subjects with vibrant hyper-modern design and context makes these pieces truly dynamic and worthy of attention and conversation. If someone has some of this Jewish artists‘ work it is almost impossible to get through a dinner party or event without discussing it.

Investing in contemporary Jewish art is a great choice. So many people spend their times collecting prints and recreations of more classical pieces but these modern paintings and prints will only become more captivating and valuable over time. Besides that they will look amazing practically anywhere in your home reminding you that Judaism is a living breathing current thing.
