I was born on Riverside Drive in Manhattan in 1953. Shortly after I was four years old, my family moved to the Marble Hill section of the Bronx. My father, Simon Hafftka, and mother, Eva Hershko, were both refugees from Europe and survivors of the Holocaust. My father and his cousin Alexander Hafftka were the only survivors of a large family whose great uncle was Dr. Waldemar Mordecai Haffkine. Much of my understanding of the world came from my perception of my parents’ wartime experiences. Among the host of determining factors and experiences that were later brought to bear on my becoming an artist was a strong desire for freedom.
I went to public school and Yeshiva for a short time and graduated from De Witt Clinton High school in 1971. At the time of my graduation, I already knew I was an artist though I had not accomplished anything tangible and still had not found my medium.
My mother died in 1971, and I went to Budapest (on the earnings I made working in a bike shop and as a sales clerk in an Army & Navy store) to meet my maternal grandmother whom I had just discovered was still alive. My grandmother didn’t speak Modern English; she spoke to me in the English she learned, which was Shakespearean. It was linguistically a funny and poetic experience. On the way back from Budapest, I went to Barcelona and lived like a hobo for several months. I was deeply moved by all the art and architecture I saw. The buildings of Gaudi especially struck me.
I did not want to go to Vietnam. I had been turned down as a Conscientious Objector, but Read the rest of this entry »

The quickest reaction to the death of Rafi Lavie, who passed away on Monday at the age of 70, was seen a month ago. Christie’s annual auction was held in Tel Aviv just four days after an interview with Lavie was published in Haaretz, in which he spoke openly about being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a month earlier. At the event, two of Lavie’s paintings were sold for $23,000 and $24,000, respectively - twice the previously estimated sums. This was a record high for Lavie in a open auction. One of the buyers clearly stated that the awareness of his pending death affected the purchase.
In a meeting with him, Lavie said he traded Bianca Eshel Gershuni these paintings years ago in return for jewelry she designed. When asked whether he was disturbed by the fact people were selling paintings they received as gifts or the result of a trade, he responded: “Apparently they’ve grown tried by the piece and that’s fine with me. The most important thing for me is that my painting will be hung in as many places possible and that people will see them. A person who sells my work doesn’t enjoy it anymore, and whoever buys it does so out of love. That’s what’s important.” Read the rest of this entry »

Hyman Bloom, c. 1955. (Photo: Nick Dean. Courtesy of the Danforth Museum of Art.
Monumental paintings adorn every wall of Hyman Blooms house in Nashua, New Hampshire—a fluorescent rabbi at the main entrance, a dark nude of an old woman just off the kitchen. It’s been 65 years since Bloom made his momentous leap onto the American art scene. He was 28 when the Museum of Modern Art selected him as one of 18 new artists to be featured in the exhibit “Americans 1942.” Critics applauded his work, struck as much by his vibrant use of color as his subjects: aging rabbis, an exotic bride, a chandelier from his childhood synagogue. Equally impressed were Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock, both in their 30s and yet to embark on the work that would make them famous. De Kooning would later tell Bernard Chaetthat he and Pollock considered Bloom the first Abstract Expressionist in America. But while Bloom’s paintings soon hung alongside theirs at the 1950 Venice Biennale, few people today have heard of him.

Grammy Winner James Ehnes in Candid Interview on Art & Fine Living with Jona by jona rapoport on March 11th, 2008 Canadian violinist James Ehnes was the honoured guest on radio show Art & Fine Living with Jona, produced and hosted by Jona Rapoport on Radio Shalom, a mere 24 hours after receiving the coveted Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra.
In a panel of Jordan Gorfinkel’s “Everything’s Relative” comic strip, Holocaust survivor Zayds explains why he won’t visit Germany.
“I’m trying not to remember vhut everyvun else must not forget,” says Zayds, who appears larger than life on the walls of the new Jewish Museum
in Munich.
The cartoon Zayds eventually goes to Germany. But the person he’s based on Gorfinkel’s father-in-law, Nathan Burzinski can’t do it.
“It’s not the ribbon tied into the neat bow that, being a writer, I wanted,” Gorfinkel said before leaving Cleveland to attend the museum’s March 22 gala opening. “But it’s revealing and truthful. In fiction, it’s easy to take a Holocaust survivor back to Germany. I just draw it that way. Reality isn’t so cushy.” Read the rest of this entry »

Visitors to Israel may wish to know that, situated near the imposing Baha’i Gardens in Haifa, is a small green and bronze jewel of a place- מצפור שלום Mitzpor Shalom, The Peace Park. The Peace Park is a piece of history- a garden in which 29 works of art are installed- life-size and life like sculptures created by Ursula Malbin. Over sixty of her eighty two years of life were spent creating quietly, diligently, without publicity or the support of any art gallery, affluent sponsors of artworks. Read the rest of this entry »
