Description
Jean David was a Romanian-Jewish artist, working as a painter, illustrator, scenographer, and designer. He is recognised as one of the most important figures of the Romanian avant-garde and of Israeli modernism. David studied at the National School of Fine Art in Bucharest, the Scandinavian Academy, and the Julian Academy in Paris.
His early works, such as Portrait with a Woman with Fruits, are not stylistically dissimilar to those of famous Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, as sensuously depicted female characters have their faces and necks elongated to suggest a sense of both strength and fragility.
