Mordechai Levanon was born in Transylvania, Romania, immigrated to Israel in 1921. He studied at the Bezalel Art Academy and painting with Yitzhak Frenkel at Histadrut Studio of Painting. Levanon is one of the founding fathers of the Jewish School of Paris artist and Israeli art. Like many artists in his time, he was enchanted by Eretz Israel's special light. This light and its play of color always stayed with him and his art works. He settled in Jerusalem. In 1937 Levanon held his first one man exhibition in Tel Aviv and from that year on, he took part in almost every annual collective exhibition of Israeli artists. He won the Israel Brazil Prize at the San Paolo Biennale, was a three winner of the annual Dizengoff Trite Prize, the Herman Struck Prize, and a two time winner of the Jerusalem Prize. He represented Israel three times at the Venice Biennale. One of a kind artwork.
