Bemerkung:
Text: engl./hebr. David Heinz Gumbel (1906-1992) and Ludwig Yehuda Wolpert (1900-1981) were two of the most influential artists and masters in the field of Modernistic Judaica design in the twentieth century. Both arrived in the Land of Israel from Germany in the mid-1930’s and brought with them the newly developed modern style and way of thought: simple designs and smooth shapes, with a fluency dictated by the material and function of the object. Gumbel and Wolpert introduced this new style to the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts, which reopened in 1935. For over five decades, the two created in Israel and abroad, and endowed their students with both the technique and the spirit of Modernistic design. Above all else, they are credited with re-envisioning the entire modern way of creating Jewish ceremonial objects, and carving a historic turning point away from the style of the old Bezalel School and from traditional Judaica design.
