MARYAN, Pinchas. Abstract Composition, 1958.

When the Russians arrived, the Germans decided to shoot the prisoners; he survived but had one leg amputated. He then went to Jerusalem to study art and painting at the New Bézalel Art School.

His work was exhibited at the Breteau Gallery in 1952, then at the Gallery of France in 1956. The Museum of Art and… Read More
