They looked for subject matter in the Old Testament and were inspired by the archeological finds from the ancient lands of the East. The "Canaanite" twist of their depiction of the biblical motifs invested their work with connotations far removed from the Jewish tradition, and the artists were consequently accused of idolatry. Until the 1940s, Kahana was anchored in figurative painting. Gradually, in correspondence with the outlook of the New Horizons group (of which Kahana was a founding member), the geometric forms in his work took on an abstract aspect, suggesting mythological symbols engraved on a stone tablet. The untitled painting at first sight appears to be abstract. A closer look reveals in the center of the composition a wide-shouldered figure, looking like a mythological deity on an ancient Assyrian relief. The color range recalls that of a mosaic images and ceramics from the ancient East.     Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further information Tel 972-3-5244110 urban972@gmail.com         Worldwide Shipping Standard Delivery - EMS International (Between 3 and 7 days) Local Shipment Items can be shipped for NIS 88.00 (up to 20kg per item) Local Pickup General items can be picked-up from our Tel-Aviv offices on 72 Ben Ehuda St., Tel Aviv 63433, Israel, for a handling fee of NIS 40.00.
