Arie Aroch
Arie Aroch (in Hebrew אריה ארוך; born 1908, in Russia – October 15, 1974, in Israel) was an Israeli painter and diplomat born in Kharkiv, which was part of the Russian Empire. Aroch's work was a mixture of Pop Art and abstract art, along with elements from his biography. In addition, many scholars of the history of Israeli art have pointed out Aroch's pioneering use of Jewish themes in his works. His painting style included unstructured scribbling and drawing, and it influenced a broad range of artists, including Raffi Lavie, Aviva Uri, etc. Sarah Breitberg Semel, in her article, ''Agrippa versus Nimrod'' (1988), suggested Aroch as a model for the new Israeli concept of design in art, and suggested his painting, ''Agrippas Street'' was the representative of Jewish identity. In 1971, Aroch was awarded the Israel Prize in Painting for his work. Biography Youth Arie Aroch was born in November 1908 in Kharkiv, which was then part of the Russian Empire and today is part ...
