Moshé Raviv-Vorobeichic, known as Moi Ver, born Moses Vorobeichik (1904–1995) was an Israeli photographer and painter.
Moi Ver (Moshe Raviv) was born in 1904 in Vilnius, Lithuania as Moshe Vorobeichic.
Moshe Vorobeichic received his initial artistic training in the early 1920s in Vilnius, Lithuania, where he studied painting, architecture, and photography. Having become an important figure in the Yiddish avant-garde culture, he exhibited his first works. From October 1927, he studied at the Bauhaus school in Dessau (Germany), with photographer-visual artist Laszlo Moholy Nagy and painters Josef Albers, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Hinnerk Scheper.
In his book Moi Ver: Paris, he produced avant-garde photomontages. Originally published in 1931 by Editions Jeanne Walter with an introduction by futurist Fernand Leger.
In 1932 Raviv was sent by the weekly La Vie Parisienne to British Mandate Palestine as photo reporter. Raviv illustrated many books. Raviv was a founder of the Artists' Colony in Safed.
At the height of 20th Century modernism and one of the followers of Laszlo Moholy Nagy and his concept of New Vision, Moin Ver was one of the rising stars in European photography. Born in Lebedeva, in Belarus, he wandered through Europe until he immigrated to Palestine in 1934. His well known yet partly forgotten three photographic projects in 1931, The Ghetto Lane in Wilna, Paris: 80 Photographies de Moi Ver and Ci-Contre – 110 Photos de Moi Ver (that was not published at the time), have remained milestones in the art of the 1930s as he created and imposed a new visionary style in photography.
As a contemporary of artists such as Man Ray, Ilse Bing, Hannah Hoch, Andre Kertesz, Brassai, Germaine Krull and Dora Maar, who were all active in Paris at the same time and like most of them Moi Ver’s photographic vision was a combination of innovative painting and advanced unconventional camera practice that yielded radical images. Raviv's work is a perfect example of the modernist movement of the early 20th century and reflects the social, cultural, and artistic changes that were taking place at the time.
Decades ahead of his time, the collage, multiple exposures and combination prints he produced were a vibrant depiction of the dynamism of the modern metropolis and are still relevant and modern as an advanced form of photographic expression which has influenced since then generations of photographers. In 1934 he immigrated to what was then known as Palestine.
In 1937 he undertook a report on agricultural farms (hakhsharot or kibbutzim) for the training of young Zionists emigrating to Palestine. These images bear testimony to pre-war Jewish life in Eastern Europe. They were published during the 1930s and 1940s in the press and in various books in Poland, France and Palestine, where he had lived since 1934. Moshe Raviv-Vorobeichic (as he called himself in Israel) He photographed the “new migrants”, the construction of infrastructures, and the daily life in kibbutzim. These novel images were later published in books and informational brochures; they also served as raw material to produce political posters. In the early 1950s, at the age of fifty, Vorobeichic adopted the name Moshe Raviv and left Tel Aviv for the village of Safed, in the north of the country, near Lake Tiberias. Moshe Raviv joined the Jewish artistic community in Safed, which had been very active since the 1930s. He gradually abandoned photography and graphic design, returning to oil painting and dabbling with drawing and engraving. His works reveal multiple influences: expressionism, popular Yiddish literature, modernism, and even the esoteric kabbalistic tradition. While some of them include figurative references, such as landscapes, religious figures, and places of study, most of them are abstracts reminiscent of his first paintings from the 1920s.

Patrick LoCicero was born in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1959. He attended Youngstown State University, Ohio, and the Columbus College of Art and Design. He completed a B.F.A. at Ohio State University in 1982 and an M.F.A. at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1986. His paintings, installations, prints, and multimedia work have been shown in California, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. LoCicero's richly layered imagery is characterized by unusual juxtapositions of everyday objects and classical motifs, which play with the viewer's perception of materials and subjects. LoCicero’s assemblage paintings combine collage with painting. The overlap and collage elements relate directly to the images he depicts, guiding him in his choice of subjects, and come from a variety of sources including the Kama Sutra, antique children’s books, letters and journals. His still life paintings resonate due to the contrast the artist sets up between the collaged surface and the painted surface, as well as the play between the actual shallow space and implied deep space. Patrick specializes in creating mixed-media collages that tell stories. Collage paintings inventively reinterpret the collage technique that developed during the Cubist Dada era, and he reinvigorates one of the most important modes of expression in the art of the 20th Century.

COMBING (WITH RAYS) - Large Textured Oil Painting w/ Scene of a Mother & Child
By Eleanor Aldrich
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
COMBING (w/ RAYS) is an oil on canvas painting by Eleanor Aldrich created in 2021. In this piece we see a scene of a girl having her hair combed by her mother. The thick texture of the imagery is created utilizing a device made by the artist in which the paint is literally combed through the forms to give the contour lines and illusion of space. Aldrich is utilizing a palette that has more neutral tones in the center of the canvas while bold rays of color expand from the center and outwards towards the edge of the piece.
COMBING (w/ RAYS) was featured as part of a two person exhibition with Pamela...
