Hyman Bloom. American Master
Alexandre Gallery is pleased to present a selection of paintings and drawings by Hyman Bloom, in celebration of the artist鈥檚 retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Hyman Bloom: Matters of Life and Death, opening July 13th, and the publication of two new books: Modern Mystic: The Art of Hyman Bloom by Henry Adams and Debra Bricker Balken and Hyman Bloom: Matters of Life and Death by Erica Hirshler.
Bloom鈥檚 oeuvre is captivating for his incandescent, jewel-toned treatment of mystical and corporeal matters. His work draws upon his Jewish heritage, his interest in Eastern religions, and themes of death and human mortality. In his paintings of human corpses, skeletal fish and trees, archeological excavations, synagogues, Christmas trees, jewels and stones, Bloom explores underlying form and complicates concepts of beauty.
