Itshak Holtz (1925 2018) was born in a small town near Warsaw and moved with his family to Jerusalem when he was ten years old; he pursued his artistic training there and at the Art Students League and National Academy of Design in New York. From the beginning of his artistic career he was drawn to depict the life of the Orthodox Jewish communities of which he himself was a part in both New York and Jerusalem.
