The lectures aregiven by Michal Gavish, PhD, whose works were exhibited in Israel and in the United States, including her most recent show at the SFMOMA Artists Gallery.

During the 1960s there was a dramatic change in Israeli Art. Socialist values were abandoned in favor of a fascinating search for original Jewish Aesthetics. Following the Six Day War, Israeli art turned to the American pop art, while still being influenced by European existentialism.
