Description:-

This is an original hand signed lithograph by Nachum Gutman of two young ladies that was printed in Morlous Paris during the 1950’s. The litho is numbered 17/200.

Gutman helped pioneer a distinctively Israeli style, moving away from the European influences of his teachers. He worked in many different media: oils, water colours, gouache and pen and ink.His sculptures and brightly colored mosaics can be seen in public places around Tel Aviv. Indoor murals depicting the history of Tel Aviv can be seen in the western wing of the Shalom Tower and the Chief Rabbinate building. A mosaic fountain with scenes from Jewish history stands at the corner of Bialik Street, opposite the old Tel Aviv municipality building.Gutman’s artistic style was eclectic, ranging from figurative to abstract. Gutman was also a well-known writer and illustrator of children’s books.
