“Drawing a model is always a challenge for me, refreshes the senses and inspires me. It means capturing the mood of the model, and in the same breath it’s an expression of the artist’s personality and mood.” Opening of Exhibition, Artists House, Tel Aviv. Sep. 2021.

“Western Wall” By Nurit Manor, Sep. 2023 Based on a painting byBernatz, 1839 Print Club London
“Hope Between the Walls, Between the Times”
Over the course of hundreds of years, the Western Wall has been documented in painting, engraving and photography. Then women and men were praying side by side, without a partition. !!

“Women and Men prayingat theWestern Wall” Etching By Nurit Manor, June 2023 Based on a painting byBernatz, 1839 Etching Center – Kibbutz Cabri, Israel
“Hope Between Walls, Between Times” – One of the subjects that dealt in the project is – aboutthe monologue that takes place in Israel now – on the invisible and visiblewalls between women and men. It takes place also at the “Western Wall” – the empowering symbol, which has public, private, historic and international importance, where there is a “partition” between women and men in the praying areas. *** This is a controversial issue – as it touches political and religious extremes in Israel.
The separation between men and women, that exists in many places in Israel now, brought the historical change to the Western Wall on Nov. 1967, after the six-day war, and a “Partition” was created. [“Mechitza”]
A partition between men and women at the Western Wall, which was never there before 1967, interface with the ideas and struggling for the rights of equality. The Western Wall should be kept a place of prayer for all and for tolerance.
The Western Wall is documented in paintings, drawings, engravings and photographs from 1839 until today.
I created several works of art, to raise the issue of the right to pray without a partition, where women and men have prayed together at “Ha’Kotel” [The Western Wall]for hundreds of years. That’s based on historical works of art, andphotographs, created before 1967.
