Nahum Gutman (1898-1980) was born in 1898 in Talenshet, Russia.
In 1905 he immigrated to Israel and settled with his family in Tel Aviv. Later in 1920 he left to Vienna, Austria to study sculpting. He traveled to Berlin and to Paris where he participated in an exhibition with the artists Chagall, Modigliani and Soutin. Gutman had exhibitions in New York, Boston, South Africa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. He had once said "I paint out of my impression of the view and our surroundings, and as for the sea shore – it runs across our entire country." The sea is a central motive in Gutman's work. As a child he had watched the sea extensively through his school window and every arriving ship carried with it exciting new smells and mysterious. Inspired by the Eastern Persian miniatures, Gutman created two dimensional, flat colored fields placed one above the other while ignoring the formal perspective. He experimented with distinctive colors combinations to form rich colored carpet.
In the print Tiberius Gutman portrayed the leisure activities of the city of Tiberius located next to Kineret Lake. These recreational activities were "imported" to Israel by the Jewish European immigrants. Similar to the European artists, the Israeli ones were occupied with this theme as well. The restaurant area is busy and hectic with people sitting, eating and drinking, strolling around, enjoying the fresh air near the lake. The figures are described in slim black silhouettes, Gutman's familiar style, while their surrounding is rich in lively colors of green, orange, yellow, pink.
