Ruth Bloch

Ruth Bloch was born in Israel in 1951 to artist parents. Her father was a musician, while her mother worked in ceramics, Ruth's family were members of a kibbutz called Alonim, a place where childhood and early youth afforded her many opportunities to develop her artistic talents. Reaching adulthood, Ruth attended the Avny Art Institute in Tel Aviv, and took additional studies in psychology in the United States.

This is an art of deep, immanent feeling, like a haiku of the body, and the form that being of limb and soul speak free. But with Bloch, feeling is not sentimental. Her talk, like the thinking that girds her life is more like the senryu than the haiku: more quizzical, sharp, sturdy, never elegant or delicate. She wants an art that is not "nice" but good – qualified not only by strength, real artistic merit, or by kind of spry cellulose toughness that maverick composer Charles Ives wanted when he "stretched his ears"- and good because distinguished by the good, the absolute- without that Hegelian capital.
She wants art to be good with the same good we find when we experience life. Not just with a sense of joy and an openness to beauty but with the moral integrity and the firm resolve to perpetuate nothing else but good in our lives, our feelings, our actions and our works, and the deeds like things we propagate and raise to life in the world of souls of fellow birth.
Currently Ruth Bloch lives and sculpts in Israel. Her work exhibits a great depth of feeling for the human figure, revealing the living unity of her masculine and feminine forces.
