MORE DETAILS :Yosl Bergner(Hebrew:יוסל ברגנר‎‎‎; 13 October 1920 – 18 January 2017) was an Israelipainter. He was born inVienna,Austria, grew up inWarsaw, Poland, lived inMelbourne,Australiafrom 1937 until 1948, when he moved toIsrael.Contents[hide]1 Biography2 Works3 Awards4 See also5 References6 Further reading7 External linksBiography[edit]Yosl Bergner was born inVienna,Austria, in 1920 and grew up inWarsaw,Poland.With rampantanti-Semitismin Europe, theFreeland League for Jewish Territorial Colonizationwas formed in theUnited Statesin July 1935, to search for a potentialJewish homeland. Soon afterwards a pastoral firm inAustraliaoffered the League about 16,500 square kilometres (6,400sqmi) in theKimberleys, stretching from the north ofWestern Australiainto theNorthern Territory. As history showed, the plans went nowhere. But for a time, the Australian idea was at least worth considering. Bergner\'s father,Melech Ravitch, became involved in a serious investigation of theKimberley Plan.In this way the Bergner family moved to Australia. Yosl emigrated to Australia in 1937 and studied in theNational Gallery SchoolinMelbourneuntil the outbreak ofWorld War II. He served for four and a half years in theAustralian Army, and later continued his studies at the Art School.In Melbourne from 1937–48, Bergner befriended many of the local artists who now epitomize modern Australian art:Sidney Nolan,Albert Tucker,John PercevalandArthur Boyd.[1]Adrian Lawlor moved with his wife to a cottage atWarrandyte, an outer suburb of Melbourne, where they lived for 30 years. Bergner was a frequent visitor at their Warrandyte home. All the men socialized together. Bergner encouraged them to go beyond their traditional landscape style and introduced a more radical concern for working families, thus having an important impact on Australian art.Bergner may not have been prepared for the plight of many struggling Australians. Yet he felt a strong connection between the suffering of people everywhere, whether they were the Jews that he remembered from Europe, landless blacks in the heart of Australia or hungry children in inner urban Melbourne.He left Australia in 1948 and after two years of traveling and exhibiting inParis,MontrealandNew York City, he settled inIsrael. He lived inSafeduntil moving toTel Avivin 1957.Works[edit]Bergner designed scenery and costumes for theYiddishandHebrew theatres, particularly for the plays ofNissim Aloni, and has illustrated many books. The acme of Bergner\'s paintings is his allegorical works; he uses kitchen tools such as squashed pots, oil lamps, wrecks and cracked jugs and he anthropomorphizes them. These old instruments symbolize distorted and poor world of wars, secrets and darkness.Awards[edit]In 1956, Bergner was a co-recipient of theDizengoff Prizefor painting.[2]In 1980, he was awarded theIsrael Prizefor painting.[3]Born in Vienna in 1920,to singer Fania Bergner and poet Melech Ravitch. studied with the painter Hirsch Altman in Warsaw and at the Academy of Art of the Victoria National Gallery,Melbourne.Took part in numerous one-person and collective exhibition, in Museums and galleries, both in Israel and abroad.Represented Israel in several of the Venice and San Paulo Biennales.Yosl Bergner Exhibitions >>The Tel Aviv Museum of Art has recently held a retrospective exhibition of his works.

Yosl was born in Austria.Antisemitism was rife in Europe, so Yosl’s father went to Australia in 1933, initially to raise funds for Jewish schools in Poland.While he was there, he became interested in the Kimberley Project, which was similar to the Uganda Proposal, namely that it provided a settlement option for Jews where they could be free of persecution.Like the Uganda Proposal, it was buried beneath the dust of history.Melech returned to Warsaw with exotic photographs of Australia which generated great excitement and curiosity in his family and then went back down under. The rest of the Bergner family soon followed.Yosl had already displayed an aptitude for art in Poland and had studied with Hirsch Altman in Warsaw.After arriving in Melbourne, in 1937, he enrolled at the National Gallery Art School where the future icons of the Australian art scene were his fellow students and friends.His studies were disrupted by the outbreak of World War II. Like many young Jewish immigrants from Europe who felt that they owed something to Australia, Yosl joined the army where he served for four-and-a-half years, after which he resumed his art studies.In 1948, he decided to leave Australia and traveled for two years in Europe and North America. In 1950, he came to Israel, settling initially in Safed where he lived for seven years before moving to Tel Aviv.Within four years of settling in Israel, he won the Herman Struck Prize. A year later he was awarded the Dizengoff Prize. Over the years, he won several other prizes and was named an honored citizen of Tel Aviv.His studio was adjacent to his apartment, and he was very disciplined about going there each day to paint, and did so almost to the last day of his life.In 1987, after an absence of half a century, he went back to Australia for a retrospective exhibition which largely featured scenes of the Warsaw and the Melbourne of his youth.Inasmuch as he was a great artist, Bergner was also an engaging raconteur and could keep people spellbound for hours.His funeral will be held Thursday, at 2 p.m., at Kibbutz Einat.born in Vienna and grew up in Warsaw. he immigrated to Australia in 1937, where he studied at theNational Gallery Art Schooluntil the outbreak of War World One.Bergner served for four and a half years in the Australian Army, and later continued his studies at the Art School.
