The Museum of Psalms holds the most original and unique collection and exhibition that I have ever viewed. This interpretation of "The Psalms" is magnificent and dense with symbolism. One could be totally unaware of the Old Testament; yet, feel this work so personally. One is drawn to the colors, the abstract style and the extraordinary contemporary inner vision and eye of this "Masterful Artist". Mr. Berger's complete dedication is to a true "Personal Art" and this rich and important example of a New Renaissance. It is a challenge to "this fearful world" to see a new dawn!! — and as Monet and his contemporaries forced a different and original voice in their moment.
"This stirring exhibit "The Psalms" moves one in the way, I imagine, the audience felt, when visiting the Atelier, of Monet, Van Gogh , Gauguin ... An Awe, Excitement, Electricity, Sensuality, Spirituality, Music, Movement, Mood, and Energy for "The World of Fine Art", that was beginning to seem flat, boring ,uninspired. Most of our artists working today subconsciously are using tried, done, and established examples painted by better or more original hands ... All "Déjà Vu"!
Mr. Andrei Berger is the only person given the honor and uniqueness of having his work turned into a Museum by the Government of Israel and the City of Jerusalem, and this was even during the Artists' lifetime!!. This is a national historical landmark. He painted the whole book of Psalms, one painting for each of the 150 Psalms. Mr. Berger is recognized as a World Famous Artist and Scholar.
This is a fascinating and unique educational tool for children and the rest of us who relate to things only through visualization. Being that Judiasm and spirituality are invisible, this artist has done a supernatural miracle by painting an image of spirituality as a tool for those who need to see to believe!! It was for that reason that the state of Israel decided to do something unprecedented anywhere in the world: THEY OFFICIALLY TURNED HIS WORK INTO A NATIONAL HISTORICAL LANDMARK IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM , AND TURNED HIS WORK INTO AN OFFICIAL MUSEUM!!! He has done an awesome feat, and an unbelievable kindness to humanity, and by you telling your friends about this, you are spreading that light, and doing that kindness for all humanity.
Our Goal is to open a gallery here in Los Angeles, which will be open all week, so that people do not need to travel to Israel to see this up front. Being that I live in L.A., I already am familiar with the city and the different local Jewish organizations that we can work with to receive additional support- such as the Jewish Federation of L.A
