Dimensions w/Frame: 16 3/4" x 14 3/4" Zvi Tolkovsky was among the founders of the current Bezalel Academy. Also among the founders of the Art Department in the late 1960s, he established the silk-screening and papermaking workshops, and was one of the department’s most outstanding teachers until his retirement this decade. He spawned generations of students during his many years of teaching. Tolkovsky is of a generation of teachers who formed a personal relationship with their students. This gallery is too small to contain the works of his many students, from those who were among his first students and are now established artists, to those who have just recently completed their studies.

Joseph (Yossef) Zaritsky (Hebrew: יוסף זריצקי‎; September 1, 1891 – November 30, 1985) was one of Israel's greatest artists and one of the early promoters of modern art in the Land of Israel both during the period of the Yishuv (Palestine, the body of Jewish residents in the Land of Israel before the establishment of the State of Israel) and after the establishment of the State.
