Catalogue Note
Born in Safed in 1927, Aviva Uri was a prominent figure in the Israeli art scene of the 1960s. Greatly influenced by the scribbles used in Aryeh Aroch's paintings, Uri moved to the abstract in 1959 and regularly participated in the exhibitions of the Ten Plus Group and the Autumn Salons. "From then on, her lines refined a spontaneous musical sensitivity that blended revelation of emotion and restraint, tension and relief, liberation and constraint. In her drawings, often described as a musical score of feelings, she formulated a language of symbols simultaneously abstract, personal and metaphysical (and frequently apocalyptic)." (Gideon Ofrat, One Hundred Years of Art in Israel, Canada, 1998, p. 237).
