| They are merely her spiritual landscapes, mental sceneries,
as she herself calls them. Rather they reflect her own moods and impressions
of the city. Jerusalem has an atmosphere of sparkling colours, the sunset
are purple, the sky is azure. Therefore, Miriam's painting blaze with colours,
they are full of life and motion. .... |

Jerusalem - spiritual landscapes
   
Miriam Neiger-Fleischmann is an impulsive paintress.
She mostly paints spontaneously without creating carefully reflected compositions
in advance. Her artistic personality is characterized by strong expressiveness
manifested in marked colourfulness and a particular pictorial hand of her
own. With reciprocal superimpositions and overlaps of paints and
the use of more or less transparent sprays a surface plasticity is attained
and, what is more, her paintings acquire depth and impression of
a third dimension.
