Shabbat Evening
Large Israeli masterpiece painting. Hand signed lower right
Provenance: Sara Kishon Gallery
Naftali Bezem (Hebrew: נפתלי בזם; born November 27, 1924) is an Israeli painter, muralist, and sculptor. Bezem was born in Essen, Germany, in 1924. His early adolescence was spent under German Nazi oppression, in constant fear for the safety of his parents, who perished in the Holocaust in the Polish Auschwitz concentration camp. Naftali emigrated to Mandate Palestine in 1939, at the age of fourteen with a Youth Aliyah group.
From 1943 to 1946, he studied art at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem with Israeli painter Mordecai Ardon. He then spent three years studying in Paris.
His most famous public works include a mural wall relief sculpture at Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust museum and commemoration in Jerusalem and the ceiling painting mural in the main reception room at the President's Residence, Jerusalem, Israel. He is also known for his stained glass windows and Aubusson style flat weave tapestry in many public and private places around the world. In 1957, Bezem was a co-recipient of the Dizengoff Prize for Painting.
