The Israel Museum presents "Fields of Vision: Landscapes by Israel Hershberg"
On view through February 4, 2013
One of Israel's preeminent realist painters, Israel Hershberg's multifaceted activity as an artist, teacher, and founding director of the Jerusalem Studio School has changed the face of Israeli art over the past decades. Known for his close, direct, unrelenting observation, Hershberg has, over the past ten years, broadened the scope of his artistic production, moving from still lifes and interiors to expansive landscape painting, each panorama the result of a couple of years of painstaking work. Fields of Vision presents three large-scale landscapes and a preparatory study, produced in Italy and Israel, representing a pivotal chapter in Hershberg's oeuvre.
