I am interested in your name Weiss, as my great grandmother Rose Samuels came to the UK with her siblings Issac and Millie (Amelia). They came to Spitalfields. Millie married Benjamin Weiss in and had 4 children Sadie( Sarah) b 1922 Bernie 1924 , Jack 1915 and Mick 1920. I realise it’s quite a popular surname. I went to Art College and am a figurative painter too.

The works of Ivor Weiss have really blown me away. I would love to see them all up close, particularly The Four Drinkers and The Elders. Thank you and his son for letting more of the world know about Ivor’s talent.

The strength of dark and light in Ivor Weiss’ work leaves me spellbound. And the one of the rabbis holds an incredible statement of what his family’s background meant to him. Sadly he knew so little of it but I am sure he sensed its power.

Thanks indeed.

If there was a collected works volume I would buy it. I can almost read the subjects thoughts…it feels like. Hard lives, borne with resignation, but bolstered by one another. Quite moving.
