He trained in violin, with Ljerko Spiller and, in painting, attending the<br>Mutual de Estudiantes y Egresados de Bellas Artes. At the age of 18, he received the 1st prize for<br>painting from the Argentine Hebrew Society. During a long period, from 1959 to 1963, he worked<br>together with surrealist master Juan Batlle Planes, with whom he created various murals. His arrival<br>in Europe occurred in an unusual way for an artist: thanksto a job on a cargo ship.<br>Paul Klee&#8217;s paintings and Ali Baba&#8217;s cave have strongly influenced his artistic career. Perhaps in these<br>references one may find the origin of that particular phosphorescence that illuminates his paintings.<br>The atmosphere of his paintings is wrapped in a dance of mystery and veils of light. Gurfein works<br>slowly, with materials from other times. The homemade tempera used is transparent glue derived<br>from milk. The evanescent and intangible of his images oscillates between presence and<br>reminiscence. In his work, we observe infinite worlds, houses illuminated by vast skies and solitary<br>trees lost in dreamy deserts.<br>Based in Paris since 1980, his work belongs to private collections in Germany, Argentina, Belgium,<br>Colombia, Spain, United States, France, Holland, Italy, Switzerland, Uruguay and Venezuela. He<br>exhibited in the Modern Art Museum (1968), Paris; the Grand Palais (1982), Paris; the Salon d&#8217;Art<br>(1984), Brussels, Belgium; the Na\ufffdonal Museum of Fine Arts (2004), Buenos Aires; the UNESCO<br>(2006), Paris and most recently at the Maison of L&#8217;Am\u00e9rique Latine in Paris in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4204,"template":"","tags":[272,308,295,306,314],"class_list":["post-4205","artistas","type-artistas","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-esoterismos-en","tag-paisaje-en","tag-luz-en","tag-naturaleza-en","tag-pintura-en","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistas\/4205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistas"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artistas"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mapadelarte.museomoderno.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
