We are now offering for the very first time, a select
group of major monumental-sized Roussimoff works dating back
to the 1970's. These extraordinary works have in the past been
featured in some of the artist's most important art gallery
exhibitions. "MOSES THE LAWGIVER" is a Genuine Signed and
Dated (1973) Early Ari Roussimoff Oil on Canvas Painting,
measuring a huge 40 x 50 inches. This is an amazing and highly
symbolic representation of Moses. This outstanding portrait of
"MOSES THE LAWGIVER" is a contemporary interpretation of the
great leader of the Nation of Israel. He is seen in two stages
on Mount Sinai. On the top of the canvas, we witness Moses'
communication with the Almighty. In the foreground is Moses,
presenting the Commandments to not only his people, but to the
entire world. Glowing rays of light beam from his majestic
head. The artist has chosen to depict but one major
commandment as representative of all the others. On the
tablets, one finds the following words written in the Hebrew
language: "I AM THE L-RD THY G-D. THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER
GODS BUT ME". The figure of Moses is painted with extreme
dignity and shows a wise and intensely spiritual leader, a
true visionary and prophet. As he is painted with dynamic
Byzantine inspired forms and glowingly poetic colours, Moses
is depicted as a very human and living image. This is a work
of great Sensitivity and Incredible Power. A Painting that is
Timeless and Universal in Appeal.
