Israeli painter
Porat presents Interview with Kafka in Prague
(From Czech
News Agency)
PRAGUE, Jan 19 2004 (CTK) - An exhibition by Israeli painter Jacob
Porat dubbed Interviews with Kafka opened at the New Town Hall in
Prague today under the auspices of the Czech Culture Ministry and
the Israeli embassy.
Porat's work deals with his difficult childhood, his examination of
Jewish and Israeli identity and with accepting the events of the
past, Dana Wagnerova from the Israeli embassy told CTK today.
Porat was born in Poland and studied the violin in Tel Aviv, while
also earning a diploma in Hebrew literature, Biblical studies and
comparative literature. He studied visual arts at the Avni
Institute.
He later taught literature and Bible studies at a secondary school.
Porat's strengths are his technique, composition and themes, as well
as his instinct as an artist.
He uses various mediums, including photographs, music and literature
to express himself, Wagnerova said.

Conversations with Kafka: Works by
Jacob Porat |
|
PRAGUE,
CZECH REPUBLIC.- An exhibition of works by
Jacob Porat is currently on view at the Embassy of
Israel in Prague until February 25 [2004]. The paintings of
Jacob Porat are a tribute to Prague, Kafka’s home
city. The exhibition also consists of photographed
sites in Prague as well as pen drawings made by
Kafka. The show is arranged in layers, and the
longer one looks at the paintings, the more details
are discovered and layers uncovered. The viewers
form part of the exhibition as well, interpreting
the meaning of the works as they peel off layer
after layer.
The search for different, various forms of
_expression describes Jacob Porat’s works. His
paintings have a life of their own, and these lives
have been an integral part of his works since he has
begun painting to date. Porat’s continuous pursuit
is associated with his search for Jewish and Israeli
identity through painting, literature, music, and
photography.

The Top Kafka
"Wystawa
ta jest proba konfrontacji pomiedzy swiatem Kafki a swiatem Jacoba Porata"
- celnie konstatuje prof. Nurit Govrin z Tel-Aviv University. Sam autor
powiada, ze nie odnosi swoich prac do konkretnych utworow Kafki, najwyzej
stara sie oddac w nich cos z gorzkiego, trudnego poczucia humoru pisarza.
...[Jolanta Antecka - Dziennik Polski] .
“Diese Ausstellung ist eine
interpretierende, fundamentale Konfrontation zwischen der Welt der Literatur
und der Malerei, sowie zwischen der Welt Kafkas und der Jacob Porats. Vor
allem jedoch ist sie eine Konfrontation mit der Welt der Leser / Betrachter
– ihrer Art, Kafkas Arbeiten vor dem Hintergrund Prags zu entschlüsseln und
ihrem Verständnis der Kafka-Gemälde von Jacob Porat.” (Prof.
Nurit Govrin).
Součástí doprovodného
programu veletrhu byla také výstava předního izraelského malíře Jacoba
Porata, jehož obrazy z cyklu Rozmluvy s Kafkou tvořily součást expozice k
80. výročí Kafkova úmrtí.
