Biography from the Archives of askART





Moshe Katz (Romanian Israeli), 1937- an Israeli citizen, studied art at the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem, as well as at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. He received second prize in the Israeli Group Artist show in Haifa in 1959. Exhibits featuring the paintings of the young artist in the United States have taken place in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago and Winnetka.

Although not an exponent of one dominating technique of painting, Moshe has been fascinated in recent months with the textures and expressions he is able to obtain with the palette knife.

Picasso, Cezanne and Gaughin are his idols, and the power of Mexican art has a deep fascination for him.

He enjoys working in clay but finds painting in oil his greatest outlet for the stories he has to tell through his pictures. In addition to an outstanding collection of books featuring the works of the great masters, his shelves are lined with texts about hypnosis. Studying about the art of hypnotizing provides him with a mental exercise far removed from his highly developed art of expressing himself on canvas.

Moshe Katz was born March 2, 1937 in Bucharest, Romania. With his parents, he fled from the Nazis and after stops in many countries, reached Israel. His paintings have been displayed by Arts International in galleries across the country since the fall of 1965. He received second prize in the Israeli Group Artist Show in Halfa in 1959.
