Alexander Sokolovsky - The Gaon Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky


Alexander Sokolowski - oil on canvas, signed. The Gaon Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky.


We had the rare opportunity to offer for sale a work of one of the greatest artists in the field of private art. A work by Russian artist Alexander Sokolovsky has never been auctioned. For according to the way he chose - opposition to the way artworks are marketed in a public gallery whose price is usually determined by the publicity in which they are marketed, and not by their quality and artistic level. his masterpieces are sold privately and by order of important and well-known personalities, and they adorn the walls several celebrities around the world. Sokolowski's paintings are characterized by impressive precision, with a colorful and rich brush that includes the details of the character drawn with impressive meticulousness until the character is alive and standing in front of the viewer as a real reality. His works evoke the style of the Dutch artists of the 19th century, and of the great Jewish artists of the emancipation period. The great Jewish painter Isidore Kaufman was once asked by an art critic what is the difference between a good work and a masterpiece one, and replied: If the work can be discerned in the human psyche and its character, beyond its external form, as accurate as it may be in the painting, then we have before us a masterpiece. The things are well reflected in the work before us of Alexander Sokolowski.
