Paintings by Sami Briss(1930-)
I should thank the artists! and hope nobody will mind.

Samy Briss was one of Israel's most popular artists who combines a cubist style with a Byzantine one. His figures are modem icons - frontal and classic but also humorous and whimsical. Briss' images capture the strength and vulnerability of modem life.

Samy Briss was born in 1930, in Jassy, Rumania where Ionesco was born 18 years earlier. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest under Ressu, a disciple of Gustave Moreau. In 1960 he settled in Israel and in 1967 he had his first one-man-show in Tel Aviv. His murals of mosaics and reliefs on wood decorate several public buildings. His works are in Museums and private collections in Rumania,France, Israel, England,Germany, Sweden, Holland, Luxembourg, Canada and the U.S. A. The artist lives and worksin Paris."Samy Briss is a painter of the magical and the marvelous, whose nostalgia for icons comes straight from his native Moldavian plains. His surrealistic artistic experience makes him brother to Paul Klee and Victor Brauner. But his images are symbolic, their naivete has a genuine popular essence expressed in a subtly metamorphosed conventionalized style. Briss's choice and use of colors are remarkable. As inventive as it is nuanced and captiving, it evokes the tones of the enamels, bisque-fired pottery, and the sober luminosity of the primitives. Briss's painting is one of myth and memory rooted in the web of time - in other words,in universal "childhood". F. J. Temple

  • Merci pour l'ensemble du très beau travail effectué sur cette oeuvre

  • Beautifully played, with clarity, delicacy, freshness and admirable rubato which shows a feel for the music's Frenchness. They did say about Bizet that he was incapable of writing music without a good tune, but although this could be construed as damning with faint praise one cannot feel that when listening to a version such as this. It sounds as fresh as a new-born day. As for Samy Briss, the artist's accompanying pictures, they are exquisite and wholly appropriate.
