Following the 1948 War of Independence many of his students followed him to Tzfat and set up their own galleries in the burgeoning [[Artists Quarter Safed|Artists Quarter]]. These early pioneers included Moshe Castel, Mordechai Levanon, Ziona Tajar, Shimshon Holtzman, Yehezkel Streichman and Moshe Avni. They were subsequently joined by many other well-known artists including Moshe Rosenthalis, Zvi Erman, Menahem Shemy, Yehudah Amitai, Aryeh Merzer and David Gilboa. Slowly, new artists arrived, creating a thriving artists colony which gave Tzfat a name as the “Bohemian capital of Israel.” |
These artists formed themselves into the Safed Artists Colony Association to protect their reputations and support each other. Many of these artists lived in the Tel Aviv area for most of the year and came to Tzfat for a few months each summer to open their galleries and draw inspiration from the Tzfat landscape. | These artists formed themselves into the Safed Artists Colony Association to protect their reputations and support each other.
