This painting is by the well-known Israeli artist,Moshe Katz (1937-). It is in good original condition. The painting is rather gestural, and there do not appear to be any losses, but it is difficult to tell, given the artist’s brushwork. The frame is in fair to good condition with some faint scuffs on the left stretcher. Please see pictures.

MOSHE KATZ is an Israeli citizen who studied art at the Bezalel Academy of art in Jerusalem, as well as at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. Picasso, Cezanne and Gaugin are his idols, and the power of Mexican art has a deep fascination for him. He enjoys working in clay but finds painting in oil his greatest outlet for stories he has to tell though his pictures. Moshe Katz was born March 2, 1937 in Bucharest, Romania. With his parents he fled from the Nazis and after stops in many countries reached Israel. His paintings have been displayed by Arts International in galleries across the country since the fall of 1965. See less
