Polish-born painter Moshe Kupferman survived the Holocaust and immigrated to Israel in 1948, where he was a founder of Kibbutz Lohamei Hagetaot and became one of Israel’s most prominent artists. His abstract paintings won him attention not only in Israel, where he had his first show in Tel Aviv in 1960, but also in Europe and the United States. His work has been the subject of more than seventy solo exhibitions. Kupferman received the Israel Prize for Painting in 2000.
