OIL ON CANVAS 54X73CM "CHIEN SUR CANAPE" CIRCA70.
After contacting Mr HADAD, he told me that this work was produced between 1971 and 1975.
He moved to Israel in 1951 and joined the Tel Aviv School of Fine Arts in 1956. In 1965, Abraham Hadad moved to Paris, where he studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts from 1965 to 1970.
Despite the violence Abraham Hadad has encountered, whether in Iraq or Israel, all his canvases exude an unexpected gentleness. The human being is at the heart of his work, and his characters are portrayed simply, in their intimate, poetic way.
Abraham Hadad has exhibited throughout Europe, and some of his works are collected by major international institutions such as the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Taiwan Museum of Art, the Tel Aviv Museum...
The artist has also won several awards, including the Vitry-sur-Seine First Prize for Painting and the Tel-Aviv Museum's Second Prize for Graphic Arts.
He taught at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris from 1977 to 2002.
