Sisters by Vardi Signed Acrylic Painting

Lot Passed

Title: Sisters Artist: Yahuda Vardi Medium: Acrylic Painting Signed The Israeli painter Yehuda Vardi had gained name and recognition in his home country for his soft, colorful portraits of beautiful women. Born in Iraq, Vardi immigrated to Israel at the age of seven with his family, to settle first in a Kibbutz and later in Tel Aviv, where he studied art in University. He was a socially conscious artist, and upon reading about Wallenberg he came to see the Swedish diplomat as his hero. Mesmerized by the story of Wallenberg, the painter studied obsessively every book or document he could find about the savior of the Budapest Jewish community. Vardi was 62 years old when he died in tragic circumstances in 1990.
