MOCA Week 6


This week I chose the artwork of Amichai Shavit. Amichai was born in Palistine in 1935, studied in the US from 1955 to 1961, then returned to Israel to receive a degree in business management. He taught at Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem Universities on the subjects of technology and contemporary art in the departmenst of philosophy and art education, and later became a general director of the Haifa Museum and VP of Israel's Art Endowment Fund. His art has been widely shown in Israeli museums and galleries, and he has represented Israel in biennieals internationally. He largely works in Strata Pro and Photoshop. I like this piece because of the feeling it gives me - clear, crisp circles, cones, cylinders, squares, pyramids - I see diversity coming together as one.
