Gabriel (Joseph) Talphir (1901–1990) was an Israeli poet, art critic, publisher, editor and translator. He died in 1990. == Biography == Gabriel Talphir was born in Stanislaw, Galicia, then ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. When World War I broke out, he was sent to study at a Jewish high school in Vienna. Later he studied at art at the University of Vienna and taught at several Jewish schools in Vilna, Zamosc, Lwow, and Warsaw. He was a member of the Zionist youth group Hechalutz and immigrated to Palestine in 1925.〔(Gabriel Talphir, The Israel Museum )〕 In 1924, Talphir published his first poems in Polish Jewish periodicals. Later, he included them in his collection of verse, ''Three Poems.'' His most well-known poems are ''Legion'' (1925), ''Jazz Band'', a rhythmic poem (1927), ''Hunger'' (1928), and ''The Scattered Manifest'' (1928). Talphir also wrote and published art criticism. In 1932, he founded ''Gazith'', a journal on arts and culture. For years, "Gazith" was the only Jewish periodical dedicated to the plastic arts. He edited the journal with the help of his wife Miriam. Gazith published prose, poetry, essays, reviews and illustrations of art and architecture. Of the essays published during its first year, a third were dedicated to visual art. Most were about European Jewish artists, among them Libermann, Menkes, Mintchine, Modigliani, Pascin, Pissaro and Soutine.〔(With their face to the Diaspora: Eretz Yisraeli art discourse in the 1930s )〕 On behalf of the 70-year anniversary of Gazith's establishment in Tel Aviv, the head of the municipality of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Shlomo Lahat, wrote to Talphir that he could not imagine the original artistic and cultural achievement of the city without Talphir's periodical and his dedicated work. Talphir was also a translator. Among the many books he translated were the works of Ilya Ehrenburg, Ève Curie (the daughter of Madame Curie), and Franz Werfel. He also edited, published and translated art books and albums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gabriel Talphir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
