Virtual Encounter via Zoom / “My Name is Maryan,” MoCA, North Miami
Due to the current national security situation, the Museum will be closed to the public. Most activities in physical spaces are postponed until further notice, except for a few events (free of charge, but advance registration is required).
We are all going through extremely trying times. In a bid to help, however modestly, we continue to offer, for the fifth week running, an hour of respite, by providing captivating lectures and encounters every day, free of charge, via Zoom.
This week we will recall past exhibitions at the Museum, get to know some of the beloved works in its collection, and visit important collections around the world. We invite you, the culture-loving public, to enjoy an hour of curiosity.
We wish everyone days of peace.

“My Name is Maryan,” MoCA, North Miami / Lecturer: Nathalie Andrijasevic, Assistant Curator of Modern Art and 16th-19th Century European Art
Maryan (1927-1977) is regarded as one of the most important artists to engage with the human condition in the latter half of the twentieth century. After the Holocaust, he arrived in Palestine on his own and studied for three years at Bezalel in Jerusalem. In 1950, he moved to Paris, where he rose to prominence as an expressive painter with a unique style. In the 1960s, he moved on to New York, where he joined the Beat Generation art scene. This exhibition, which was attended by tens of thousands, was held at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in early 2023. It was a collaboration between the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the MoCA in North Miami, where it was presented in 2022. This is a rare invitation to virtually tour the exhibition in Miami and gain an in-depth acquaintance with this extraordinary artist.
