Moshe Rynecki used his paintbrush and palette to document and chronicle the life of his community-Jewish people of Warsaw, Poland. Some artists, however, do more than simply document the subjects that they see and watch-they use the canvas to reveal something new-to show us that which we did not see at first, that which we might not consider if we had observed the subject ourselves.
Rynecki’s drive and ambition to paint came early in life and it came from within. While he spent much of his life painting the Jewish community, he also witnessed a great deal of change to his country, from the almost constant political turmoil that characterized Poland’s brief independence between the World Wars, to the onset of Soviet aggression, and Nazi brutality at the start of the Second World War. He perished in the Holocaust.
This color booklet features more than two dozen of Moshe Rynecki’s paintings.
