"The Return of the Desire" it's a series that conducts a dialogue with two artists and their creation, one is the 19th centuryJewish-German artist Elie Marcuse and his epic biblical painting: "The Death of king Saul on the Gilboa", and the second is the The 16th-century Italian Mannerist painter Jacopo Pontormo. The series isolates pieces from their works and sets the stage for a material and conceptual dialogue between them. Through the works of the two, the series explores the complex relationship between the Christian-Western art tradition and the Jewish-Israeli one. The series offers a meditation on the way Jewish-Israeli art could have developed sensually and aesthetically, if it had engaged more closely with Christian-Western art.
