About the Artwork:
This original color lithograph by Israeli painter Ori Reisman, titled Lidiya (also cataloged as Seated Nude), depicts a seated female figure leaning against an architectural or textile form. Built through flattened, distinct planes of muted blue-gray, terracotta red, teal, and ochre, the composition reflects Reisman’s signature approach of reducing human forms into balanced, solid color fields. The print is hand-signed in Hebrew by the artist on the lower right and numbered 36/150 on the lower left.
About the Artist:
Born in Kibbutz Tel Yosef in 1924, Ori Reisman was one of the founders of Kibbutz Kabri in the Western Galilee, where he lived and painted for most of his life. After studying with Yitzhak Frenkel in Tel Aviv and training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in the early 1950s, Reisman developed an independent visual language parallel to the "New Horizons" (Ofakim Hadashim) movement. Working largely away from the central art scene in his kibbutz studio, he dedicated his career to exploring the connection between the human figure and the local landscape. Recognition of his quiet, color-focused modernism grew significantly in his later years and following his death, leading to major retrospectives at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Mishkan Museum of Art in Ein Harod.
