Biography
Avigdor Arikha (Dlugach) was born in Bukovina, Romania and grew up in Czernowitz. He attended Hebrew and secular schools. During World War II, his family was deported to a concentration camp in Transnistria. Arikha drawings document life in the camp. In 1944, he immigrated to Palestine with Youth Aliyah, which sent him to Kibbutz Ma'aleh Hahamisha. In 1946, he studied at the New Bezalel School of Art. In 1947, he joined a convoy bringing supplies to besieged Jerusalem and was badly wounded. In 1949, he was awarded a Youth Aliyah scholarship to study art in France. In 1951-1953, he resided in Jerusalem. During this period, he painted abstracts in somber colors and illustrated the writings of Cervantes, Rilke and Hemingway.

In 1952, he settled in France. In the 1960s, he abandoned abstract painting and began to produce works based on direct observation of nature. In addition to portraits, many of his paintings depict his home surroundings. He also wrote scholarly articles about European art, especially Poussin and Ingre, and curated a number of exhibitions on the subject.

Biography
Tsibi Geva, an Israeli painter and sculpture, was born in 1951, in Kibbutz Ein Shemer, Israel. In the early 1980's Geva began using motifs and imagery from local Arab culture, while emphasizing racial stereotypes. In an installation he presented at the Kibbutz Gallery in 1982, for example, there were caricature images of un-identified Arabs, alongside the image of a wounded lioness, painted expressively and with heavy impasto. In later works such as "Umm al - Fahm" (1983) or "Jaffa, Arara, Goara, Haifa" (1984), Geva uses "decorative" text which actualizes the existence of the Arab minority in Israel and undermined the concept of Israeli and Westernizes "taste". After studying art in New York in the late 1980's, the work of Geva featured a series of large-scale abstract paintings, which implemented similar local motifs. A series of Kafiyah paintings, for example, Geva integrated the values of American abstract art, using the kafiyah as a folklore-political motif, as well as an abstract grid. During the 1990's Geva created sculptural elements, such as iron grates, using similar motifs. Tsibi Geva lives and works in Tel Aviv.

Biography
Ruth Schloss, Israeli, born Germany, 1922-2013. Ruth Schloss was born in 1922, in Nuremberg, Germany. In 1937 Schloss immigrated to the Land of Israel with her family and settled in K'far Shmaryahu. At the end of the 1930's she studied in the "New Bezalel", Jerusalem and was taught by Mordechai Ardon, among others. During the 1940's Schloss was active in pioneering kibbutz frameworks of "HaShomer HaTzair". In 1943 she joined Kibbutz Merhavia training, and two years later settled in Lehavot HaBashan. In 1951 she married Binyamin Cohen. Following a political dispute in 1952 they were forced to leave kibbutz Lehavot HaBashan and moved to her parents' farm in Kfar Shmaryahu, where she resides today. Schloss began painting at the studio she opened in Jaffa (1962-1983). Her early works were mostly ink drawings and watercolor on paper. These drawings have become her trademark. Her paintings were in the style of Socialist Realism, which flourished at the time among Israeli painters such as Shraga Weil and John Simon, who were influenced by the Socialist and Communist movements worldwide. Schloss also illustrated many children's books and issues of the newspapers "Al HaMishmar" and "Mishmar LeYeladim". Throughout the years, Schloss adhered to figurative painting and to keeping Man at the center of her work. She never abandoned her unique and humane observations of those who are weaker, oppressed, deprived and discriminated against: children, the elderly, women, refugees and animals. In recent years (until 2012), she painted large works in acrylic on canvas. Her paintings have become more expressive, but they continue to focus on similar topics: old, blindfolded prisoners and animals with exposed teeth.

Biography
Yair Garbuz, Israeli, multimedia artist, author and filmmaker, born 1945 Yair Barbuz was born in Givatayim. In the 1960s, after serving in the Israel Defense Forces, he studied painting at the Avni Institute and took private lessons with Israeli artist Raffi Lavie. He was active in the +Ten group. In 1974-1986, he created video art using techniques similar to collage, and wrote texts in the same style. In 1983-2004, he was one of the authors of a newspaper column, Davar Akher. In 1993, he hosted a satiric television show, "Ein im me ledaber" (No one to talk to), and wrote scripts for a current events program, Tik Tikshoret. Garbuz's early work, in the 1960s, combined photographic collage and scribbles to create expressive figurative portraits and grotesque nudes. From the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, he made ironic use of characters from Zionist propaganda and incorporated texts in his compositions. Later, he returned to more traditional painting and created collages referencing the history of Israeli art.

Biography
Assam Abu Shakra, Israeli, 1961-1990 Assam Abu Shakra was born in Umm el-Fahm. His brother was Sheikh Raid Salah. Several members of the family are artists. He attended a Jewish high school in Afula. In 1981, he moved to Tel Aviv-Yafo and studied at the Kalisher Art School, washing dishes to pay his bills. In his second year of studies, he lived and painted in a room at the school, living on scholarships awarded by the school. After graduating in 1986, he worked for a printing company, eventually becoming a teaching assistant and a drawing instructor at Kalisher. In 1987, he met Eitan Hillel, a curator and gallery owner, who organized showings of his work. With Hillel's help, he began to work at a studio on Nahmani Street in Tel Aviv-Yafo. In 1987, he was diagnosed with cancer, to which he succumbed in 1990. Abu Shakra's palette is dominated by different shades of ochre. Most of his work features a central image set against a decorative background. Aside from numerous self-portraits, a  recurrent motif in his work is the sabra cactus, depicted as a domesticated house-plant symbolizing personal and national identity.
