Jawish in a prying shaw

Victor Brindatch was born in USSR. He lived and studied in Kharkov. He
is a graduate of the Moscow University, a member of the Union of artists
in USSR and of the International association of painters and sculptors.
Since 1993 he lives in Israel. He is a master of classical superb color
specialist. His favourite plots are connected with Jewry "Torah", tradishions
and modern life which has found its embodiment not only in painting, but
olso in sculpture. Victor Brindatch's pictures decorate private collections
all over the world. Since 1996 f his exhibition have passed David's Jerusalem
gallery' and also in galleries of New York (Brooklyn) and San Francisko.
In 1999 there was his personal exhibition in Tel Aviv's Hall of Painters
and sculptors and in 2004 he had another one, in Jerusalem, called: "The
AlefBeit".

I look at Victor Brindatch's pictures on his site in internet. Gray-bearded
oldmen and boys with side curls, the paradise good natured animals, the
pacified eternity of sacred letters of the Torah. We can see the Jewish
world. Click of the mouse and I watch a page of the Soviet period. And
now we can see builders of communism, cheerful sportswomen, and serious
steelmakers. But what is it? There no signs of slightest socialist rialism!
The same antiquated motives, the same plots: a Bar-Mitzvah Chassids, children
and animals with human faces.


All the same intolerable, exulting palette of pictures, the same strict
completeness and restraint of copper moulding. In Victor Brindatch's images
you will not find any "before and after" "Soviet and postSoviet". Perception
of the world. Changes in it first of all cyclic, calendar: Change of the
day and night, youuth and maturity, alteration of death and the birth,
announcing firmness of a plan of the creator.

Jewish people in Brindatch's pictures also appear as a unit. Time which
has been streched from creation of the world up to now, is compressed
and disappears, and the thousand-year history appears as one capacions
parable. That is whay Moisy and Jakov are like modern spanish jews, and
foremother Rahel' "a fantastic medieval princess". That is why Ashkenazi
boys cheerfully jump bottom of the sea, overtaking the patriarches leaving
Egypt.



Favourite hero of Brindatch is "The Jew in a praying Shaw". Who travels
from a picture to a picture, turing sometimes in to a black-eyed curious
child or a respectable old man. Of man's images prevail. There are not
enough woman: this subject bearing secret secret, remains untold. The
artist avoids to speak about the woman directly. But the nature in his
pictures is through penetrated with bewitching, invicibly attractive force
of true feminity.


We have got used to that wives and beloved. Were the painters muses Rembrant
had Saskia, Daly had Gala. Brindatch's muse became his daughter Vera. Probably,
it is her image that made so fair thr other images in the pictures made
his colors so bright which captivates us in works of her father. Children
can create a fairy tale, therefore even disturbing and tarrible, like
Egyptian executions or phantoms in beit kneset, at Brindatch do not frighten
but enchant. And the sculpture "Vera on a turtle" a small masterpiece.
Looking at it you can understand why in ancient times our acestors did
not create images: this simple and pure touching baeuty should be involuntarily
worshipped.
