Dans ce portfolio, l’artiste revient dans son texte introductif sur les visions qui le hantent : « j’ai obéi à cette injonction des morts(…) et j’ai essayé de les arracher à leur éternel silence, et de leur faire exprimer toute l’atrocité d’un destin que la mauvaise conscience du monde ne demanderait pas mieux que d’oublier ou d’ignorer ».

Emmanuel Mané-Katz, born on February 14, 1894, in Kremenchuk, Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire), was a Jewish artist known for his vibrant and expressive paintings that captured the essence of Jewish life, culture, and history.
Mané-Katz showed an early talent for art and began formal training at the Kiev Art School before continuing his studies in Paris in 1913. He quickly immersed himself in the thriving artistic scene of Montparnasse, where he encountered prominent artists such as Chaim Soutine, Amedeo Modigliani, and Marc Chagall. Paris became his home, and its vibrant atmosphere profoundly influenced his artistic style.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Mané-Katz gained recognition for his distinctive approach to painting, characterized by bold colors, dynamic compositions, and a focus on Jewish subjects. He often depicted scenes of Jewish life, including rabbis, musicians, and everyday people engaged in traditional activities. His works exuded a sense of nostalgia and reverence for Jewish traditions, reflecting his deep connection to his heritage.
During World War II, Mané-Katz fled to the United States to escape Nazi persecution. Despite the upheavals of war, he continued to paint prolifically, exploring themes of displacement, resilience, and the enduring spirit of his people. His art during this period resonated with audiences who were moved by its emotional depth and cultural resonance.
After the war, Mané-Katz returned to Paris and resumed his artistic career with renewed vigor. He exhibited widely in Europe and the United States, earning critical acclaim and attracting collectors who ired his ability to capture the essence of Jewish identity through art.
Mané-Katz's legacy extends beyond his paintings. He was also a ionate collector of Jewish ceremonial art and artifacts, amassing a significant collection that he housed in his own museum in Haifa, Israel. Today, the Mané-Katz Museum in Haifa stands as a testament to his dedication to preserving Jewish culture and heritage through both his art and his personal collection.
Emmanuel Mané-Katz ed away on August 6, 1962, leaving behind a rich legacy of paintings that continue to be celebrated for their vibrancy, emotional depth, and cultural significance. His contributions to Jewish art and his commitment to portraying Jewish life with dignity and authenticity ensure his place among the notable artists of the 20th century.
