Characters of Joseph Ostrowski seem to get out of an ideal Shtetl , descended from Paradise Sholom Aleichem , where there is no hunger , war and death, where the dream is always embodied . Back in the 1960s and 70s . the artist turned to the Jewish question . World artisans , musicians , wise men, - all those who surrounded him once as a child - was embodied in the remarkable " Jewish cycle ", consisting of several hundred paintings, some of which are represented in the exhibition , " Wandering Stars . Joseph's dreams Ostrovsky . " These activities are seen as a philosophical parable. No wonder one of the main motives of creativity Ostrowski is the theme of dreams and dreaming.

Our dreams are like prayers and the stars , do not have a permanent residence permit , they are not limited by time and space . Only the morning , with his awakening and daily care can interrupt , no, time to bury the dreams that come to us in a dream , only a few manage to forget their humanity and pass as a prayer and as the voice of angels. It worked out great master - Joseph Ostrovsky , an artist whose paintings live on common being: the idea of ​​a shoemaker , the idea of ​​a flutist , the people in the synagogue - when men alone , in constant prayer, as it was meant to be seen , but if a woman has visited his dream it is the bride - pure and innocent creature. Each character emerges as if out of a conditioned space , devoid of everyday realities . And this space - extraordinarily moving reflection of the delicate shades of the emotional state of the author. His interest in a complex operation , they are a single series . According to scholar Michael Ostrowski Rashkovetskiy : "Heroes " Jewish " works Ostrovsky often slouch like " fold ", looking at the viewer from the hidden depths .... Goat or a running cat ... pass the national character . They rank as the most penetrating works of Jewish studies . Maybe because of the similarity of the different animals in the Jewish Matseva . "

Opening of the exhibition " Wandering Stars . Joseph's dreams Ostrowski "will on October 18 at 17.00 in the CHA ( Krimsky Val 10 , 3 room, a mezzanine floor) .
