About Tammuz

Mordecai Ardon’s “Tammuz” is a striking painting that captures the calming essence of water and sky. Created in 1962, this figurative artwork falls under Ardon’s signature style that blends modern, expressionistic, and abstract techniques with classic painting methods. The Israeli artist often incorporated Jewish symbolism, mystical connotations, and mysterious scenery in his works to create uniquely distinct pieces.

The piece features a beautiful blend of color and texture that adds depth to its meaning. The peaceful blue shades used in the painting evoke a sense of tranquility while the contrasting bright orange shade offers an exciting element to the picturesque scene. As with many of Ardon’s works, Tammuz is enigmatic in nature but offers enough context for interpretation.

The original artwork is owned by London’s Beloosesky Gallery, but reproductions – including hand-painted versions on canvas – are available for purchase online. The artist has gained global recognition with some of his works being sold at auctions for prices ranging from $12 USD to $821,000 USD. Tammuz is one of Ardon’s most memorable pieces from his vast collection of artworks that stood out due to its unique combination of modernism and Jewish mythology elegantly depicted on canvas.
