Joseph Zaritsky
Joseph Zaritsky (Hebrew: יוסף זריצקי, 1891–1985), was an Israeli painter.
Biography
Zaritsky was born in 1891 in Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire. He studied at the art academy in Kiev before emigrating to Mandate Palestine in 1923. In 1929, he relocated from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, where he became involved in the city's cultural life while documenting its scenes in his paintings.[1]
For over 20 years he worked in watercolours, which he first exhibited, at an exhibition jointly with the sculptor Avraham Milkov, at the Tower of David in Jerusalem in 1923, making a notable impact and evoking great interest.[2]
From 1970 until his death in 1985, he lived on kibbutz Tzova, on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
