What Is Abstract Jewish Art?

One of Nechama Fine Art’s best abstract Judaica paintings is Yerushalayim in Blue and Gold. While some concrete outlines of the city’s buildings can be made out, the painting is mostly comprised of splotches of gold, purple, and deep blue that echo Jerusalem’s majestic energy.

This painting is an excellent example of how abstract Jewish art can be just as meaningful and beautiful as realistic artwork.
