Item Description
Ben Avram's beautiful painting, The Torah, comes to you as a hand signed serigraph; matted and framed in gold. Edward Ben Avram is an artist who was born in Bombay, India and immigrated to Israel as a teenager. He graduated from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in 1965 and continues to make his home in Jerusalem. Most of Avram’s oil paintings and watercolors portray Israeli cities, religious festivals, and Bible stories. He paints in creamy sensual tones incorporating symbols such as doves, a menorah, and Shabbat candles.
What's the difference between a Serigraph, a lithograph, and a print?
A lithograph is a very high quality machine printed image made by using a 4 color separation process much like how the covers of any color magazine is printed. A Serigraph is a silk screened image. With a Serigraph the original oil painting is scanned and separated digitally into each and every color found in the original. A separate silk screen is created for each and every color that was scanned. There are usually from 80 to 130 individual colors in the majority of some Serigraphs. Each silk screen is precisely placed over the Serigraph paper, and then by hand squeegee, paint for a specific color is applied. This single application of one paint color must then dry for at least 24 to 48 hours before the next color paint can be applied. It can take a Serographer up to 6 months to produce 1 run of as many as 500 Serigraphs of the same image. Serigraphs are also produced in much smaller numbers than Lithographs, and they are as costly to produce, and as close to the actual original painting as you can possibly get. There is a very noticeable difference in the high quality of a Serigraph (technically original art) when compared to a Lithograph (reproduction).
