Ori Reisman (1924–1991) was an Israeli painter.
Ori Reisman was born in Tel Yosef the in Mandatory Palestine. He studied art at the studio of Yitzhak Frenkel Frenel. In 1943, Reisman was one of the founders of Kibbutz Beit HaArava in the north of the Dead Sea. In 1946, he married Mazal Hamdi, whose Yemenite roots became an inspiration for his artwork. After the kibbutz was evacuated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Reisman and his colleagues founded Kibbutz Kabri in the Western Galilee.
In the early 1950s, Reisman spent two years in Paris studying at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts and attending painter Jean Souverbie's Monumental Art workshop. Israeli artists Lea Nikel, Eliahu Gat, and Michael Gross were also in Paris at the time, and Reisman formed long-lasting friendships with them. Upon his return to the kibbutz, Reisman opened a studio in an abandoned building, where he worked on his art several times a week. He painted landscapes, portraits and still-life in bright colors. He began to exhibit his work in solo and group exhibitions. He spent more time in Paris in the 1970s. In 1974 he joined the "Aklim" (Climate) Group. [1]
Gustave Moreau was a French artist and an important figure in the Symbolist movement. Jean Cassou called him "the Symbolist painter par excellence". He was an influential forerunner of symbolism in the visual arts in the 1860s, and at the height of the symbolist movement in the 1890s, he was among the most significant painters. Art historian Robert Delevoy wrote that Moreau "brought symbolist polyvalence to its highest point in Jupiter and Semele." He was a prolific artist who produced over 15,000 paintings, watercolors, and drawings. Moreau painted allegories and traditional biblical and mythological subjects favored by the fine art academies. J. K. Huysmans wrote, "Gustave Moreau has given new freshness to dreary old subjects by a talent both subtle and ample: he has taken myths worn out by the repetitions of centuries and expressed them in a language that is persuasive and lofty, mysterious and new." The female characters from the Bible and mythology that he so frequently depicted came to be regarded by many as the archetypical symbolist woman. His art fell from favor and received little attention in the early 20th century but, beginning in the 1960s and 70s, he has come to be considered among the most paramount of symbolist painters.

After 1968, it integrated with ESAG Penninghen.
