Yankel Ginzburg: A leading contemporary International painter, sculptor, printmaker, and tapestry artist,
Yankel Ginzburg studied art at the prestigious Academy of Art in Tel-Aviv and graduated with honours in 1964. Born in the Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan (Soviet Russia), he
immigrated to Israel with his family at a young age and in 1968, he first came to the United States. Yankel Ginzburg's first
published prints date from 1970. Most of his earlier graphic art is in the medium of lithography. By 1980, however,
Yankel Ginzburg had turned almost completely to the medium of the silk-screen, finding it to be the most
suitable method to shape the solid forms and colours which have characterized his art. Art scholars have termed
Ginzburg's large and impressive silk-screen prints as both 'post cubist' and 'constructivist'. |
