RUTH HAUSER

Born in Jerusalem in 1948. At the age of 12 she began to draw under the guidance of the artist Amiram Tamari and she spent the summer holidays in a camp for young art lovers. 2 of her works were sent to Unesco exhibition in U.S.A. She continued her studies under guidance of the artist Tova Richter-Rauch, they were interrupted due to her high school studies and she completed her matriculation examinations. In 1967, she studied ceramics in the ceramic sculpture department at Bezalel in Jerusalem and after her marriage she continued her studies in ceramics under the ceramic expert Hadwig Grossman. She studied for a short period with the artist Yehudith Har-Even and since then she has tackled independently the problems which painting has presented her. In 1972 she gave an individual exhibition in the Katz-ldan gallery. In 1973 she began her studies in sculpture at the Institute for Plastic Arts in Bat-Yam and concluded after 3 years. This is the second exhibition in which she exhibits both works of sculpture and painting. The exhibition gives a review of most of her life's work in painting and includes works from various and early periods up to today.

RUTH HAUSER

A typical artist activated by a personal creative urge. While still a child, when she first grasped a brush, her special personal tastes already became apparent in selection and adaptation of colours and viewing of objects and their portrayal.

The works of Mrs. Hauser, personify the incompatibility as it were between them and her feminine gentle personality; they appear to have been created by someone of great body strength.

The spiritual necessity to emphasize shape, without conceding with respect to the value of colour has caused her to try her talent at sculpture. Three years, she spent at the Department of sculpture in the Plastic Art Institute in Bat-Yam; her achievements were suitably appreciated and she was awarded a study grant for three years. Finally she concluded her studies at the Institute with outstanding success.

It should be mentioned that she knew how to learn from her teachers and instructors in the field of art, but has never come under the sphere of influence of any of them. Her personality, character and artistic ambitions command her artistic path.

She has many internal conflicts. The strides from here to there — this is a praiseworthy characteristic of a young artist, who has not yet crystalised fixed methods of expression. Each additional work reveals and points towards new outlooks.
