moshe kupferman (1926 - 2003)
Moshe Kupferman (Hebrew: משה קופפרמן) was an Israeli painter known for his abstract, minimalist works. He was a major figure in Israeli art, and his work was recognized internationally.
Kupferman emigrated to Israel in 1945. He studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem and later in Paris. Kupferman's early works were influenced by the European modernist tradition, but he later developed a unique style that was characterized by minimalism and simplicity.
Kupferman's paintings often featured a limited palette of colors and simple geometric shapes arranged in a grid-like structure. He believed that his art should express a sense of spiritual calm and balance and sought to create works that were both visually striking and meditative.
Kupferman's work was exhibited extensively in Israel and around the world, and he received numerous awards and honors throughout his career. He was also a teacher and mentor to many younger Israeli artists.
Kupferman's legacy as one of Israel's leading abstract painters continues to influence contemporary Israeli art today.
