Masterpieces

Mishkan Museum of Art, Ein Harod | Until 5 July

The exhibition Masterpieces took shape in a time of seclusion and cultural isolation. First, due to the Covid lockdowns, then, under the shadow of the judicial overhaul, and over the past months, in the wake of the ongoing war. It features about 300 works by 47 artists of different generations from the local art scene, who reenact masterpieces of Western art history. Sometimes, this repetition takes the form of a copy, sometimes it involves a change of artistic style or a shift from one medium to another, and it is always created from a new context, in a different artistic, social, or political reality, and under the specific circumstances of a different time and place. The common through line that they all share is the recreation of the entire composition of the original artwork, meaning: As opposed to homage, inspiration, quote, synthesis, or correspondence, these are reenactments.
