Alexander Bogen was a courageous, multifaceted and unique visual artist, a decorated leader of partisans during World War II, a key player in 20th century Yiddish culture, and one of the trailblazers for art education and artists’ associations in the emerging state of Israel.

“Being creative during the Holocaust was also a show of protest – people facing brutal danger, facing death, react in their own different way. the artist’s reaction is artistic. This is his weapon..”

In my work i was not content with the brilliant light and the blue skies of the landscape
I FELT A SPIRITUAL NEED TO EXPRESS A MORE HUMANE UNIVERSAL MESSAGE
I could not remain indifferent to what was happening in the contemporary world.
In my paintings and sculptures I saw a way to bear witness to the pain and murders on the one hand, and my belief in humanist values on the other.
The tragic events and the destruction all over the world brought me associations from the dark past.
Among them are black stains, petro-dollars engulfing the oceans and destroying a wondrous world …
This is my outcry against the destruction of people and nature.
Alexander Bogen
