Israel-Isaac Lipshitz, known as Lippy Lipshitz, was a prominent South African sculptor and graphic artist. Lipshitz was born in Lithuania, and moved to Cape Town at age five. Lipshitz’s artistic formation began at the Cape Town School of Art and continued at the Michaelis School of Fine Art. In 1928, he moved to Paris for four years to study under the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle. Lipshitz then returned to South Africa, where he taught at the University of Cape Town.

Toward the end of his life, in 1978, Lipshitz moved to Israel, settling near Haifa.
