David Dedi Ben Shaul, Israeli, 1932 to 2018, monotype on paper depicting a mummified figure. Signed in pencil lower right. Numbered 1 of 10 in pencil lower left. Additionally inscribed in pencil lower to the center. David Ben Shaul was born in 1932 in Jerusalem. In his youth, he was Hedwig Grossman Lehmann’s assistant. In the late 1950s he traveled to Paris where he studied printmaking and especially lithography. Upon returning to Israel in the early 1960s, he brought with him a lithographic press and founded a studio where he printed lithographs for different artists. His early works were influenced by the French Informel and other avant garde trends. During the 1960s to 1970s his work became more expressive, sometimes combining text, influenced by the Mashkof group of which he was a member. From the 1980s onward, his work, in sugar-lift, focuses mostly on the landscape. His works can be found among the collections of the Israel Museum, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and many others.
