ORIGINAL PHOTO
e Party Favor, is based on a photo by Ze’ev Aleksandrowicz taken during the wedding of the daughter of the Tzaddic Rabbi Ben Zion Halber- stam, October 3rd, 1931, Galicia, Nowy-Sanz, Po- land. It was part of about sixty photos taken that day, thus a sort of party favor for the wedding. e painting was completed to augment a book, e Horse Adjutant , also by the artist. is painting brings clarity to the coldness of the times, the dy- namic energy of the old-world Jews, and the com- ing electronic age, as noted by the power poles; it is also an ominous race against the coming clash of nations. e title comes from the idea that there were no cameras that could take action photos back then, so like a ‘party favor’ for the wedding, there was a photographer. He must have set up his still cam- era in front of the horsemen and told them to ride towards the camera and into destiny.
