MSI Press Blog

  Noam Omer is the artist son of MSI Press author, Haim Omer. The following post was written by him for his own website/blog, and the link connects to some rather unique art. Check it out! Noam Omer: The World in Pencil s Artists paid a heavy price during the COVID12 lockdowns.  Those that wanted to survive had to adapt themselves, for instance, by going online.  Online shows, however, have different demands.  But they also offer new possibilities.  Those who know Noam Omer’s previous work wouldn’t think that pencils are an adequate medium for his expression.   His works are usually characterized by a glaring presence, the figures seem about to jump at the observer or break away from their frame. Maybe a good way to understand Noam’s choice of color pencils as the major technique he used throughout the year (2020) is to think about the difference between symphonic and chamber music.  In chamber music, the artist speaks quietly to a small group of persons in a room, or even to himself.

In a  current and a coming post, Dr. Haim Omer describes an adaptation of the new authority to kindergartens .  (The new authority is the core of his book, Courageous Parents.) This is part of a series about the new authority and anchoring function in early childhood -- how to resolve the most difficult problems that parents encounter with their children.  Read more about Dr. Omer and his book, Courageous Parents, HERE .
