The Gallery told me yesterday they have had a lot of visitors due to Spitalfields Life, and this wonderful show is being extended for a further week.

Some truly great stuff there, I am particularly taken with the flat capped men, drinking or just hanging about.

Actually it is not so much the sorrow of Christ but the shock. A human Christ frozen by the weight of fate. Here is the ‘son of man’ as much as the ‘son of God.’ Apologies for posting twice but what a piece of art. This should be in a church. It’s one of the most human pieces of spiritual art I have ever seen. (Or should that be spiritual pieces of human art?)

‘Blimin’ heck that’s Jesus!’ The response was visceral as I scrolled down the images on my PC – a change from scrolling Spitalfields Life on my phone, you get to see the paintings properly. I was immediately arrested by the image of The Last Supper. Such a fantastic representation of the sorrow of Christ by a Jewish artist. Amazing.

Some great images here: the woman in the pub, The Rabbi, The Waiting Room, Wivenhoe Creek but the impact of the image of Christ at The Last Supper was/is quite astonishing. Like a mini epiphany.

Striking and exceptional! Thanks. Is there a catalogue or book on Ivor Weiss?

These paintings have the raw beauty of an accomplished master. They go right to the soul of the subjects and praise them. They also reveal the generous humanity of the artist.

I love Ivor’s paintings – they have pathos, style and humour. How lovely to have GA’s permanent record of them. I’m so sorry to miss the exhibition.

Greetings from Boston,

GA, thanks for sharing these powerful paintings. Interesting how many small art schools and programs were available to these artists as you have referenced in the bios of other artists too.

Ivor and Joan made a handsome couple, eh?
