Description:Gershon Iskowitz (1920 or 1921–1988) was about to begin his studies at the Academy of Arts near Warsaw, Poland, when the Nazis invaded. He survived the Holocaust by drawing, as a means of psychological resilience, on scraps of paper that he found after bomb raids. Gershon Iskowitz: Life & Work traces the life of this incomparable artist, from his early days as a student in Poland to his captivity at Auschwitz and Buchenwald to his remarkable artistic trajectory in Canada.In 1949 Iskowitz immigrated to Canada where he quickly established himself in his new country’s artistic scene. His first recorded exhibition was at the 1954 Canadian Society of Graphic Art annual show, held at the Art Gallery of Toronto (now the Art Gallery of Ontario). In the decades to come, Iskowitz would have many solo exhibitions, including a forty-year retrospective in 1982.Author Ihor Holubizky explores the career of this remarkable artist, from his early largely figurative work focused on Holocaust themes to his turn toward epic and colourful canvases. In 1967 Iskowitz began creating luminous abstracted landscape paintings of bright, vibrating hues: iconic images in Canadian art that propelled him to new levels of recognition and that reached international audiences.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
