Ruth Schloss (1922-2013) - Stuck Jeep, Oil on Paper Mounted on Canvas.
Signed.
104x80cm.
Ruth Schloss (Cohen) was born in Nuremberg, Germany, to Ludwig and Dian Schloss, as the second of three daughters of a bourgeois assimilationist Jewish family well-integrated into German culture. As the Nazis came into power in 1933, her family immigrated to Mandatory Palestine in 1937, and settled in Kfar Shmaryahu, then an agricultural settlement. Schloss studied at the Department of Schloss graphic design at Bezalel from 1938 to 1942 alongside Friedel Stern and Joseph Hirsch. She was a realistic painter who focused on disadvantaged people in society and social matters as an egalitarian. Her realism was thus an inevitable realism, motivated by an inner necessity: the need to observe reality as it is.
In 1951 she married Benjamin Cohen, who served as chairman of the national leadership of Hashomer Hatzair Workers Party in Tel Aviv. He was a theoretician and a man of principle, highly esteemed by his leaders who became a professor of history at Tel Aviv University. In 1953, following the Mordechai Oren affair and the publication of Moshe Snehs followers from Kibbutz Artzi, she and her husband left the kibbutz and moved to the agricultural farm, Kfar Shmaryahu, where she lived until her death
