I have never been exposed to a teacher who expressed fciich "enthusiasm, excitement and love for her subject. In part, here is what, Miss Mann told me. Israeli Artists "For the painter, m a n y sources of inspiration exist in the new Israel; in the color of eca and sky; in the contours of the landscape; in the excitement of i growth and achievement.

naissance of the arts in tho young Democracy. •. . , Renaissance ': In Israel, when I talk with the artists and look at their canvasses, somehow Rembrandt is called to my mind. He tools the world as he found it, 'TV queer place full of slums, • castles, merchants, beggars, and! saints." The subjects of his masterpieces were humble in origin: his doorstep, his backyard, and the homes of his friends} no one has ever succeeded hi making so much of so little. At the height ol the Renaissance, 'the'-canvasses of Rembrandt, Raphael, Michaelangelo, Titian, Leonardo, Tintoretto, and many others were inspired by the Bible — its people, its places and its lore, Now, after more than half a millenium, irt the new-day renaissance of Israel, Jewish artists paint these classic scenes once more, not so much for this historic significance, but because they form the backdrop of the drama ot their lives, They paint Jerusalem nnd Hebron and the dazzling desert because this is home, so much sweeter in their eyes after the long, long exile." Artists in Exhibit Miss Mann told mo somelhintf of the varied backgrounds tf{ the 19 artists whose works will he on exhibit. Original works of Aheliein, Avniel, Barznr, Ben« Aron, Bernard, Blum, Janco. (Continued on Page 2)
