About the Artwork:

“Caddish” is a spiritually charged and emotionally complex large-format acrylic painting created by Genrikh Frid in 1993. A congregation of elder figures gathers in solemn silence, evoking prayer, memory, and ancestral presence. Their upward gazes and gently folded robes seem suspended in time, inviting introspection and quiet reverence.

🧩 The Imagery: The canvas is alive with overlapping forms and symbolic detail — including subtle Stars of David embedded in the fabric of the background. This element ties the scene to Jewish ritual and cultural continuity while remaining poetic and universal.

🎨 Artistic Legacy: Executed in rhythmic brushstrokes and layered contours, the painting blends stylization with deeply expressive tones — soft flesh shades, warm reds, meditative purples. “Caddish” reveals Frid’s gift for fusing figuration with abstraction and spirituality with form.
