Description
Tia Peltz (1923 - 1999) was a Romanian Jewish painter, illustrator, and writer. The daughter of well-known journalist Isac Peltz, she studied at the Nicolae Grigorescu Institute of Fine Arts in Bucharest.
Peltz’s portrayal of human characters and human interaction is ludic and empathic, not shying away from the unconventional and the awkward. Her representations of individuality and collectivity, loneliness and togetherness show her to be not only an acute observer of gesture and emotion, but also highly imaginative in the way she constructs visual narratives.
The painting Dance stands testament to Peltz’s imagining of unearthly acrobatics of the human body, widening existential possibilities through abstractions and distortions of corporeality. In often brightly coloured compositions such as Dance, she manages to convey the cultural complexity of dancing as ritual and celebration, choreographed as well as primordial movement.
Throughout her career, Peltz had exhibitions in countries such as Romania, Germany, Israel, France, Argentina, Australia and Japan. Her paintings are part of important public collections in Romania such as that of the National Museum of Art of Romania, as well as many private ones in Romania, Israel or Japan.
