STEMATSKY, AVIGDOR
STEMATSKY, AVIGDOR (1908–1989), Israel painter. He was born in Odessa, Russia, and was brought in 1920 to Palestine. He studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem, and in Paris. In 1947/48, he was one of the founders of the "New Horizons" group. He taught painting at the Avni Institute of Painting and Sculpture in Tel Aviv for several years. He was for many years a landscapist, but about 1948 began to work in an abstract style, using color contrasts, and constantly suggesting a link with nature. His watercolors are subtle, whereas his oils are violent and dramatic. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: B.Tammuz, Art in Israel (1966), 33; Ḥ. Gamzu, Painting and Sculpture in Israel (1951), 41. (Yona Fischer)
