Symbolic Crucifixion

Throughout his career, Jules Kirschenbaum dedicated himself to crafting visual narratives that delved into the complexities of human existence. While his contemporaries often embraced abstract forms, Kirschenbaum remained rooted in the Western tradition of figurative representation. Drawing from a wide array of influences including philosophy, literature, art history, and religious motifs, he meticulously composed his artworks.

With remarkable skill in both drawing and coloration, Kirschenbaum’s paintings exuded a deliberate elegance reminiscent of the revered European Old Masters. Yet, his works diverged from mere aesthetic beauty; rather, he infused them with unexpected elements, deliberately juxtaposing serene scenes with discordant subjects to evoke profound emotional and spiritual reactions.
