Pinchas Burstein

Pinchas Burstein (1914-2001) was a Jewish artist born in Poland who later lived in Israel. He is known for his figurative paintings and sculptures that explore the Jewish identity, tradition, and history.

Burstein studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, Israel, where he became a professor and a mentor to many young artists. His artwork often features scenes from the Bible, Jewish holidays, and Jewish everyday life.

Burstein's style combines elements of Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism, creating complex and colorful compositions that are characterized by their dramatic contrasts of light and dark, as well as their intricate details. He used a range of materials, such as oil paint, bronze, and wood, to create his artwork.
