Moshe Gat Large Signed Israel Framed Print Men In Boats
This is a woodcut print of men in boats on the water, and it is an unusually large one for the artist. Sections of the fishermen image have been sold individually at hundreds of dollars, but this is the entire work. Mr. Gat also signed this in person at the Guggenheim Museum in New York while he was there for an exhibit. That makes this a unique piece from the renowned artist. * Artist: Moshe GatSignature: In pencil, lower rightMedium: Woodcut on paperDate: 1960, marked lower right * Image size: 35 1/2 × 20 inchesFraming: In rustic wooden frameFrame size: 23 3/4 × 39 inchesCondition Very good - some rippling to the surfaceBiography: * Moshe Gat (Palestine, 1935) studied at the Bezalel School, in Jerusalem.

In 1958 he left Israel and settled in Mexico, where he had a solo exhibit at the Museum of the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City. * In 1962 the artist returned to Israel, and settled in Haifa. In the following year he held exhibitions at the Haifa Municipal Museum, the Bezalel Museum in Jerusalem, the Artist's House in Haifa, and Jerusalem, the Chermerinsky Gallery in Tel Aviv, and other places. In 1962 he began to teach drawing at the Bezalel School in Jerusalem. He was one of the twelve Israeli artists whose works were shown at an exhibition held at Pushkin House in Moscow, early in 1965. * * *
