About the Artwork:

📋 "Post 17 Tamuz" (1994) by Genrikh Frid is a powerful symbolic composition reflecting on destruction, mourning, and spiritual identity. Rooted in Jewish tradition, the painting references the 17th of Tammuz—a date marking the fall of the Temple in Jerusalem—depicted through surreal allegory.

🧩 The Imagery: Two solemn figures stand on either side of a crumbling menorah, flames rising around them. Rendered in vivid tones of red, green, and blue, the scene evokes a timeless lamentation over heritage and faith in crisis.

🎨 Artistic Legacy: As one of Frid’s most spiritually charged works, this piece blends symbolism, historical depth, and emotional resonance. It speaks to both personal loss and universal endurance—poetic, powerful, and enduring.
