Mordechai Avniel, Israeli, born in the Russian Empire, 1910-1990
Mordechai Avniel was born in Parichi in the Gomelsk district, Belorussia, to a religious familiy. His grandfather was a rabbi and headmaster of the yeshiva that Avniel himself attended. As a teenager, he studied at the art school in Yekaterinburg and was a Zionst activist. In 1920, he was sent as a delegate to the Zionist Congress in Moscow. In 1921, he immigrated to Palestine with the HeHalutz movement and worked as a farmer in Petah Tikva. In 1923, he was appointed head of the miniature sculpture department at Bezalel. In the second half of the 1920s, he was a journalist for Doar Hayom, Ha'am and Hayarden newspapers. In 1932, he completed his law degree at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
In 1934, he moved to Haifa and worked as a lawyer until the early 1950s. He then represented the Herut party on the city council and served in various public positions in the field of art, among them chairman of the Haifa Museums Council, president of the Israel Association of Painters and Sculptors and member of the Arts and Culture Council of the Ministry of Education. While living in Haifa, he maintained a studio at the artists colony in Safed.
In the 1920s, Avniel created reliefs and miniature sculptures from wood and ivory, but he is mainly known for his aquarelle landscapes of the countryside. His later work is more abstract.
