Weil’s respect for the “the Word” is again evident here. The bond between tradition and a literary history remains unbroken and is visually expressed in the blossoming of the brambles of a thicket into the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The hands and book superimposed on the “bouquet” of letters suggests reverence; while below, the vase-like bas-relief fragment depicting a candlestick and six-pointed star reminds us that all springs from a tangible historical past.
Shraga Weil was born in Nitra, Czechoslovakia in 1918 to a family of teachers, journalists and merchants. His father, a building engineer, who was an amateur painter, sent him to study with a local sculptor and then to the Prague School of Art.
He produced his first graphic works during World War II, part of which he spent as a prisoner. After the war, Weil sailed for Israel on an illegal immigrant ship, eventually arriving in the new country in 1947 and becoming a member of Kibbutz Haogen, where he has been living ever since.
In 1954 Weil spent some time studying murals and graphic techniques at the Academie des Beaux Arts, Paris and Ravenna mosaics with Prof. Severinl.
Shraga Weil’s works have been exhibited in the United States, South America, Canada, Australia, France, the USSR, Switzerland, and in the International Exhibition of Graphic Arts, in Lugano. In 1959, Weil was awarded Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Art Prize

An allegory of the Generations, beginning with the younger, at the right, and progressing to the older, at left, from whom the succeeding generation receives the personal symbols of life.

S-124 Vayomer

Against the solid foundation of a rock wall fragment the artist juxtaposes ghost-like figures from his repertoire of familiar characters. There is the carrier of wood (which is used to burn offerings) at left, the shepherd with ram at right (with a bird alighting on his head), and a teacher at center (gesturing toward the central alter with etrog upon it). The work is a summary of all the legends of the Midrash that have nourished the artist, all the stories and tales that culminate in Vayomer – and he said – to bring home their moral points
