A fantastic vase of bold colorful flowers. signed and dated in Hebrew and English, Jerusalem 1989.
Litvak's life as an artist started in 1976 when he left Kishinev (Bessarabia) for Israel. In his youth he did not have the opportunity to study an regularly, although he learned painting during some two years at the Belle-Arts Academy in Kishinev and one year in Bucharest. His youth was spent during world war 2 when Bessarabia was annexed by the Soviet Union, years of hunger and the need to work very hard to be able to survive. He worked as a retoucher of photographs in a studio. When he arrived in Israel went to live in Jerusalem and took up painting as his sole occupation, not as in Russia where it was one of his occupations which he had to do sometimes in hiding, stealing time from his everyday jobs. Israel, its colourings, impressed him much: the blue of the sky, the turquoise of the sea, the palette of desert colours. The stones of Israel looked alive, he wished he
could paint them all. In 1976 he started to exhibit his work. Since then he has participated in a number of exhibitions in groups and alone. Since 1984 a member of the Israeli Union of Painters and Sculptors. The last exhibition where he took part was at the Salon des Beaux-Arts in Paris together in a group of Jerusalem artists. Israel has had a Vibrant Folk Art, Naive art scene for a long time now artists like Yisrael Paldi, Nahum Guttman, Reuven Rubin and even Yefim Ladyzhensky had naive periods. The most well know if the strict naive artists are Shalom of Safed, Irene Awret Gabriel Cohen, Natan Heber, Michael Falk and Kopel Gurwin. This is done in a style reminiscent Austrian fantastic or magic realism and bears the influence of Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Arik Brauer.
