Hardcover. Condition: g to vg. Limited First edition. Elephant folio (30 1/2 x 22 6/8"). [4] leaves (Title, Introduction, List of Contents, and Colophon), [10] loose leaves (Plates), as issued. Original illustrated tan cloth portfolio, with string ties. Colophon signed by both the artist and the publisher. "Jewish Holidays" is Pinchas Shaar's most famous work in which the artist uses his talent to depict ten Jewish holidays (Yamim Noraim; Succoth; Simcath Torah; Chanukah; Tu Be'Shvat; Purim; Pesach; Yom Ha'atzmaut; Shavuot; and Shabbat). His suite of ten striking silkscreen prints are a reflection of the artist's vision: The mask-like faces of the figures representing Passover, Simchat Torah, Succoth and Chanukah lends a persistent tension and distance to the otherwise joyful and colorful holiday depictions. The colorful plates are on Vélin de Rives paper, and measure 22 x 29 7/8" (images appr. 18 x 25"). Each plate is pencil signed, and initialed A. P. (Artist Proof) by Pinchas Shaar. Two serigraphs are duplicate. Some foxing along edges of portfolio. Portfolio in overall good, interior in very good condition. About the artist: At first glance, Pinchas Shaar's work boasts a determined joie de vivre and sunny optimism reflected in bright jewel-like color, animated design and naïve depictions of fables, myths and Biblical subjects. Born in Poland in 1923, Shaar went to Paris in 1948, emigrated to Israel in 1956, and finally settled in New York in 1975. His compositions are populated with lions, lambs, birds, horses, unicorns, angels and whimsical people with stylized features and enormous eyes. Charming and sensual, his work seems far removed from a youth spent in the Lodz Ghetto under the brutal Nazi rule. Yet on closer inspection, his art slowly reveals the complexities of a survivor. Shaar expressed his Jewishness in both Biblical and cultural subjects. He died in Israel in 1996.…

Condition: Good. Color silkscreen on Japan paper. 71.5 x 54 cm. One of 50 signed and numbered copies.Pinchas Shaar (born Szwarc, later Shaar) was born in Lodz, Poland in 1923. already at a young age he drew small graffiti and characters of fairy tales. at sixteeen he met the Polish painter Wladyslaw Strzeminski, a disciple of the Russian painter Kazimir Malevich, who encouraged Pinchas' artistic education. Strzeminski encouraged Pinchas' artistic education and introduced him to the works of such painters as Picasso, Leger, Matisse, and Mondrian. Pinchas had his first exhibition in 1938 and also completed photomontages for a poetry book by Moshe Broderson that was published in 1939. Then, in September 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland. On February 1940 the Jews of Lodz had to move to a ghetto and perform forced labor. The artist experienced the horrors of war and the Nazi holocaust concentration camps. Pinchas worked in a prefabricated furniture factory. However, after his artistic abilities were discovered, he became a draftsman. He also designed decorations for the ghetto's theater. In 1944 the Germans liquidated the Lodz ghetto and deported its inhabitants to concentration camps. Pinchas, his brothers and his father were sent to Sachsenhausen. After his liberation by the Soviet Army in 1945, Pinchas was fortunate to reunite with his parents and his two brothers. Unfortunately Pinchas' sister and her child perished in a Nazi camp. After the war, he spent a few years in Munich Germany, where he painted stage sets. In 1951 he returned to Israel. In 1974, he decided to go live in Paris, France In Paris, he studied at the Grande Chaumière and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. It is in Paris that he begins to paint the little fantastic folk art characters of his Jewish childhood. His work reads like poetry. Indeed, the artist gives great importance to writing that can be both graphics and thought. There is in the artist a certain spontaneity, a true freedom of expression. His paintings are like stories in which little fairy figures move, such as queens of Sheba, prophets, magi, or animals belonging to a fabulous bestiary. Pinchas Shaar reveals the meanders of his consciousness and gives us an imaginary universe that sometimes refers to Jewish folklore. The work of Pinchas Shaar is comparable to an inner world, tinged with both humor and sadness. But unlike the German Expressionists, Pinchas Shaar does not paint the "horror". The anxiety of the artist is rather of the order of metaphysics. His work is in many museums and galleries and was included in the show Israel - Entre Reve et Realite at the Musée Juif de Belgique, Brussels, Belgium along with Bergner, Yosl Pann, Abel, Rubin, Reuven, Tumarkin, Igael Lilien, Ephraim Moses Agam, Yaacov, Pins, Jacob Kadishman, Menashe amongst others.…
