One of the great early Israeli masters. Spent his childhood in Switzerland and came to Palestine in 1909. Studied at the art academy in Munich; lived in Constantinople.

After winning a prize in Paris in 1926 for his work on a stage set for "The Fisherman's Tent", he went on to win the Dizengoff Prize for Painting and Sculpture in Tel Aviv three times: 1943, 1953 and 1959.
