Manuel Orazi (1860-1934). Seven original preparatory works for engravings. Gouache on paper. Captioned on verso. The engravings were published in the books "Un Royaume de Dieu" (God's Kingdom) and "L'an Prochain a Jerusalem" (Next Year in Jerusalem) by brothers Jérôme et Jean Tharaud (illustrated editions published by Plon, Paris, 1933). "God's Kingdom" deals with the Jews of the East European Shtetls and "Next Year in Jerusalem" describes the state of the Jews in Palestine compared to its other national and religious groups, from a romantic perspective that glorifies the Jews' devotion to the old religion and promptly rejects the idea of a national renaissance and the chances of Zionism.
Manuel Orazi (1860-1934), Illustrator and poster artist, born in Rome; his work is usually characterized by graceful art nouveau figures. These works differ greatly from his usual style, which emphasized the stylized, rounded contours of art nouveau and its tendency to draw inspiration from nature, choosing instead simple realism in the nostalgic spirit of the text.
Seven sheets; approx. 23X31 cm. Good general condition. Framed. Most of the frames: 40X49 cm.

Max Weber (1881-1961), A Jewish Figure, 1945. India ink and watercolor on paper. Signed and dated.
35.5X15 cm, in a 51X32 cm frame (minor blemishes to frame). Unexamined out of frame.
Max Weber (1881-1961) was born in Bialystok (now Poland) and emigrated to the United States with his family in 1891. He studied art at the Pratt Institute in New York and later at the Académie Julian, the Académie Colarossi and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, where he associated with influential artists in the cubist movement. Weber was one of the first American cubist painters. In 1920 he abandoned cubist abstraction and began to paint in a more figurative style, influenced by German expressionism and fauvism. In the 1930s he started painting Biblical and Jewish subjects, often painting scenes from Jewish life inspired by his childhood in Bialystok.
