Vasili Levi
(1878 St. Petersburg - 1954 Stockholm)
Jüdischer Knabe beim Gebet
Traditionell mit Kippa und Tallit bekleidet liest ein Knabe aus dem Gebetsbuch, erleuchtet durch den Strahl einer einzelnen, vor ihm auf dem Tisch stehenden Kerze. In impressionistischem Duktus und kontrastierenden, dezenten und leuchtenden Farben gemalte, erzählerische Szene Levis, der seine Tätigkeit als Jurist 1916 aufgab, um sich ganz der Malerei zu widmen. Als glühender Verehrer der Kunst Ilja Repins, suchte er diesen 1918 auf, nachdem er sich in Terijoki niedergelassen hatte, um ihm seine Arbeiten vorzuführen. Die beiden Künstler wurden enge Vertraute, in den Jahren 1919 bis 1930 organisierte Levi zahlreiche, internationale Ausstellungen für Repin, u.a. in Helsinki, Prag, Hamburg und Nizza. 1930-1939 lebte und arbeitete Levi in Paris, bevor er sich schließlich in Stockholm niederließ. Öl/Holzplatte. L. u. sign.; 60 cm x 66,5 cm. Rahmen.
