Landscape prints of Israel
Gordon Richards
the Holy Land, by Moshe Kaufman.
Moshe Kaufman is a painter and retired architect. His formative years
were spent in Jerusalem where he first took in and absorbed
Jerusalem’s urban landscapes. During his student years in
Haifa he enjoyed many trips to the mountains of the Carmel and the
Galilee.
In 1949 he was appointed the town-planner of the future City of
Eilat, a job that required numerous tours in that part of the country
and close contacts with the mountainous desert views of the Negev and
the Arava.After many busy years as an architect, he retired in 1987.
During all these years, parallel to his formal occupation, he painted
frequently.
His first one man show was in Tel-aviv in 1978. Surprisingly, all the
40 exhibited paintings were sold during that same opening evening. In
the following years the paintings and drawings of Moshe Kaufman were
exhibited in several successful one man shows in Israel, Florida and
New York.
Kaufman lives in Tel-aviv but spends his week-ends at the picturesque
village of Zichron-Ya’acov where he can pay tribute to the art of
painting at his summer-house from where he enjoys the views of the
Mediteranian-sea towards the west and the Mount of Carmel towards the
north.
