Israel s Art
Ambassador
Rivkah's Canvases
Glisten with Vigor
by HAROLD STEIN
Israel is now sending to the Uni
ted States all kinds of representa
tives— diplomatic, political and
commercial. Rivkah Rieger is not
one of these official representa
tives. However, in the opinion of
many American art lovers she is
the “ambassador” of Israeli art in
this country. An exhibition of her
art work in New York is now at
tracting a good deal of attention
Rivkah Rieger, the wife of Dr.
Eliezer Rieger, professor of educa
tion at the Hebrew University, has
been painting for many years. She
studied in Paris, Vienna, and at the
Bezalel School in Jerusalem. The
Riegers have three gifted daugh
ters, one of whom, Sholomit, is an
artist of great promise who will
continue her art studies when she
is released from the Israeli Army.
Dr. and Mrs. Rieger are now in the
United States.
Rivkah Rieger uses several me
dia to express her art — oils, water-
colors, pastels, tempera, woodcuts.
She uses all of these media ex
tremely effectively. Her style is
serene yet bold, vivid and colorful
yet quiet and peaceful, dynamic
and moving yet sensitive and mod
est. It is evident that the artist
loves to paint and that she paints
surely and swiftly with broad
strokes and deep vision Her work
is expressionistic and modern and
each picture bears witness to the
artist's complete absorption in her
subject.
Those who have watched Rivkah
Rieger paint have said that at such
times she is recognizable, “as one
possessed.” Proof of this lies in the
fact that several of her pictures to
oe shown were painted while the
bombs were falling during the
siege of Jerusalem.
The works being exhibited here
are, for the most part, landscapes,
floral pieces, and portraits. The
landscapes are in oils and water
colors, the subjects are views of
Jerusalem, Safed, Tiberias, Haifa,
Galilee, Ein Hashofet, and other
points of interest in Israel.
Anyone who has visited Israel
will have no difficulty in recogniz
ing and naming the scenes. For one
who responds to the scenic beauty
of the country, it will arouse nos
talgia to view the scenes of Jerusa-
