Zvi Tolkovsky Abstract Prints

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.
