SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Born in Odessa, Avigdor Stematsky studied at Bezalel in Jerusalem and in Paris. He helped establish the New Horizons group and taught at the Avni Institute in Tel Aviv. His work moved from figurative landscape towards an abstraction that maintained a relationship with nature, rather than erasing it altogether.
Materials and techniques accompanied this development. Jerusalem, dated 1981 and held by the Jewish Museum in New York, combines watercolour and graphite on paper. During the 1980s, Stematsky also developed a series in tempera on smooth industrial paper. This change offered him a way of working distinct from oil and watercolour. Areas of colour and their relationships structure paintings attentive to the experience of landscape and its organisation within the image.
