This is a retrospective exhibition showcasing 50 years of work, based on interviews conducted with her by the curator and also on an in-depth rove together through the studio in Agron Street where Blum worked for most of her life.

The exhibition is an invitation to take a trip through Blum’s work and an opportunity to immerse oneself in a feminine visual biography. Nature — the principal element in her identity as an artist, accompanying her at every stage of her career — whether in the surrealist prints characterized by minimalist outlines or the abstract and richly colorful oil paintings. The abstract landscapes painted by Blum are influenced by the Jerusalem mountains, but are chiefly based on memories of her childhood in Poland. She does not go out to paint in nature, only in the studio. Her works are a memory, or a visual dream.

The connection created by Blum between the tones of the landscape and abstract buildings allows a multidimensional perspective on her oil paintings; she invites the viewer to penetrate the painting and wander around inside it, for an experience of metamorphosis bringing the viewer into her abstract, internal, and subjective art.

The media in which Blum worked are deployed before you in the space; her late works in oils appear in the corridor where you are now standing. They are from what she describes as “the best years of her life”. Her early works, prints and water colors, are displayed in the gallery space, and act as a reminder of the core of work from which Blum began.
