ABOUT SHLOMO KATZ: Born in Łódz, Poland, in 1937, Shlomo Katz immigrated to Mandatory Palestine when he was just eight-years old. Educated in Kibbutz Mishmar Ha`emek, his talent for drawing was apparent from the very beginning. As a young man he went to Paris where he studied art at École des Beaux-Arts. Inspired by medieval icons and oriental miniatures, Katz developed an original technique of painting by applying oil on top of gold leaf. The result was a combination of deep vibrant colors combined with a metallic surface that glowed, forming a totally new modern image filled with light. “The Golden Age” is the first exhibition of Katz’s work since his death in March 1992 in Holon, Israel.
