I Hear You (1990's)

11x16 painting 

"I Hear You" is one of the last paintings painted by Emanuel Schary. This painting is very complex and took months to prepare. By the mid-1980s, my father's health was a concern. He slowed down but continued to paint every day. This intricate painting combined the raised Hebrew lettering, the man's soulful eyes, a scene of his home, and the textured parchment that added another dimension. Emanuel Schary distanced himself from other artists by creating a style of painting that was unique and recognizable as a "Schary."
