The oil paintings and water colors of NYC artist Jehudith Sobel were on exhibit in “The Artists’ Space” at the National Bottle Museum® in Ballston Spa, NY during the months of May & June. An opening reception was held on Saturday, May 8. Sobel is a well known American painter with Polish/Jewish roots. Born in Lwow, Poland in 1924, she attended the Academy of fine arts in Lodz, Poland where she studied with the famous Abstract Constructionists, Wladyslaw Strzeminski and Stefan Wegner from whom she learned the principles of Modern Art as laid down by the European Cubists. Sobel’s work was selected for the First Exhibit of Modern Art in Krakow in 1948/1949. From Poland, she emigrated to the newly founded Israel where she lived for five years, becoming very active in that country’s emerging art world. Her work was collected and exhibited by the major art museums of Israel including the Museum of Modern Art at Haifa, and regularly shown in Israeli galleries before she came to New York on a scholarship in 1956. In 1956, a solo exhibit of her paintings was presented at the Jewish Museum in NY. Her career in the New York art world continued with exhibits in the prestigious ACA Gallery, the New Masters Gallery, City College of New York as well as in other galleries and art institutions. Her post-impressionist style shows the influence of Matisse, Bonnard and Braque. When Sobel and her architect husband bought a summer home in Woodstock, NY she began exhibiting at the Woodstock Artists Assoc. and Museum as well as other galleries there. Art work for the exhibit, consisting of 20 original oils & watercolors, was provided by Jan Trypaluk of Polish Fine Art, Ltd., of Saratoga Springs, NY.For additional info, CONTACT US.
