Unframed 6 Ira Moskowitz Limited Edition Judaica Etchings, pencil signed and numbered by the Artist. Sheet size 12"x18". Weight to ship 1 pd. Painter and printmaker Ira Moskowitz (1912 - 2001) was born in Poland in 1912 and moved with his family to Prague in 1914. The family remained there until 1927, and young Moskowitz received his first art education in Prague’s schools. Soon after, his family moved to New York City, and in 1927 Moskowitz became the pupil of Henry Wickey at the Art Students League. Between 1935 and 1938, he traveled to Israel and to Europe where he studied the works of the old masters. Later in his life, Moskowitz divided his time between Paris and New York. He was a superb draftsman in the old tradition, drawing with a quick, but incisive, line that is extremely lively and full of movement. His subject matter takes its shape from the life that he saw around him-natural forms, the human figure, landscapes, and people at their daily tasks. Moskowitz’s work is included in the Library of Congress, Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum, National Gallery of Art, and Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris.
