About the Artwork:

📋 "Rabbi" (2003) by Genrikh Frid is a profound pencil drawing portraying a rabbi figure immersed in deep reflection and timeless wisdom. Through minimalistic yet emotionally charged lines, the composition invites the viewer into a silent dialogue with tradition and spirituality.

🧩 The Imagery: Executed in pencil on fine paper, the figure sits in solemn contemplation. The monochromatic tone evokes stillness and cultural reverence, drawing on centuries of spiritual symbolism.

🎨 Artistic Legacy: “Rabbi” is a quiet tribute to endurance, dignity, and inner strength. It belongs to Frid’s late American period, where graphite became a medium for distillation and clarity. A rare and intimate work.
