Shalom of Safed: The Innocent Eye of a Man of Galilee

A portrait of Shalom, watchmaker, toymaker, carver and engraver, who at the age of seventy, turned to painting. The Hassidic heritage from which his work is derived is evoked in the naive but beautifully concise paintings in which he retells the ancient stories of the people of Israel.
