Hanna Eshel was an internationally recognized artist whose work evolved over many years.
A fifth-generation Israeli born in Jerusalem in 1926, Eshel first studied at the Bezalel School of Art. She moved to Paris in 1952, completing advanced studies in painting and fresco at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and the École des Beaux-Arts, where she was awarded the first prize in the Concours de France. It was during her 20th year in France that she created the majority of her oil paintings, paper collages and burlap collages and paintings.
As Eshel’s art grew more and more three-dimensional she began to experiment with other sculpting media. Many of her burlap collage paintings contained clefts, fissures and holes, some of which are double-sided works. Her search for a material with soul is what brought her to Carrara, Italy.
A proposed two-month sojourn turned into six years, a time during which Eshel created many original marble sculptures. Her 1996 autobiography, Michelangelo and Me: Six Years in My Carrara Haven, tells the story of her love of marble and how she learned to work with the material as one of a family of sculptors at Atelier Nicoli.
In the late 1970s, the world's art mecca moved to New York and so did Eshel, along with hundreds of paintings and 20,000 pounds of marble sculpture.
Eshel’s art has been exhibited in several Salons in Paris, and some of her sculptures are currently on permanent display in Israel.

Shimon Avni Shimon Avny, painter, born 1932, Paris Shimon Avny (Stein) was born in Paris, France. He grew up in the Belville neighborhood. In 1942, when the Nazis occupied France, he was separated from his family. His mother and brothers were killed in the Holocaust. After the war, he was transferred from his hiding place to the town of Andlis. He immigrated to Israel with Youth Aliyah in 1948. In 1956, he joined Kibbutz Ra'im. In 1957, he studied painting with Joseph Zaritsky, Avigdor Stematzky and Haim Kiewe. He also studied with Yehezekel Streichman at the Avni Institute. At the end of the 1950s, he went to Paris to continue his studies. In the 1980s, he joined the Radius artists cooperative. Avny's early work was influenced by the abstractionism of the New Horizons group. In 1963, he took part in the group's exhibition at Ein Harod. His work is characterized by bold colors, expressive brushstrokes and flat planes. He is a figurative painter, but some of his work incorporates symbolic imagery.
