Pamela Levy (1949-2004), Girl Eating a Peach, 1997. Woodcut. Signed, dated and numbered 1/4. 57X50 cm.
Pamela Levy (1949-2004) was born in Fairfield, Iowa. She studied at the University of Northern Iowa, and later joined an artists commune in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 1976 she immigrated to Israel. Her early works were textile collages inspired by the feminist Pattern and Decoration art movement. In the 1980s she started to experiment with other techniques, painting figurative scenes in oil, based on photographs (some of which she herself took), and creating woodcuts and silkscreens, always retaining a collage-like, patchwork quality. Levy's works deal with feminist and political issues, "her oil paintings are made as collages featuring naked and clothed figures in deserted urban spaces, building sites or on the beach. They are psychologically charged, saturated with tension and contrasts between fear and delight, childhood and old age, complete and ripped, violent and merciful" (exhibition statement – retrospective of Levy's work at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, 2018).

Michail Grobman (b. 1939), portfolio containing a dozen prints. Signed in the plate; some works dated 1967/1968 in the plate; signed and numbered in pencil, XIV/XV. Housed in cloth-covered case. 65X50 cm. Good condition.
Michail Grobman (b. 1939), Russian-Israeli painter and poet, native of Moscow. Among the founders of the Second Russian Avant-Garde – a title he himself coined – in the Soviet Union in the 1960s. Immigrated to Israel in 1971. Established the Leviathan Group in 1975 in collaboration with Avraham Ofek and Samuel Ackerman. The style of the group represented a blend of contemporary art, Jewish themes, symbolism, and metaphysics. In the manifesto entitled "The Leviathan Declaration, " publicized in 1976, Grobman set forth the group's goals: "Our joint appearance is an incipient attempt to create an inclusive national style that befits the spirit of the building of the New Israel […], our political basis [is] Zionism. Our spiritual basis – Jewish mysticism. Three foundations define our artistic stance: 1. Primitivism 2. Symbol 3. Letter." In an interview with the children's weekly magazine "Davar Liyeladim" in 1981, Grobman had this to say about his work: “Nothing I do pertains to the realm of psychology, nor to any emotional aspect of life. Nor am I endeavoring to imitate Nature […] One must never attempt to transfer any of these beautiful living things around us onto a piece of paper and turn them into something of a forgery of life. The purpose of the painting is entirely different […] Painting and art must serve to build the conditions for an altogether new world! Just as God, once upon a time, created the world as a work of art which is presently alive with us living in it, so must the artist seek the opportunity to create a totally new condition, which, in the case of a picture, is something we absorb through the eye."
