View of the Western Wall II

In this limited edition serigraph Shemuel Katz depicts the Western Wall of Jerusalem. The scene takes place at night during wintertime. The warm pink hues contrast against the darker colours serving to demonstrate how the religious symbols of Jerusalem can bring light onto the darkest days.The dissonance between the contemporary style and traditional theme illustrates the interplay between secular societal trends and the upkeep of traditional Judaic culture. The whimsical tones help usher in the idea of cultural unity. The serigraph is printed on paper and signed by the artist in the bottom right corner.
