Avigdor Stematsky (1908–89) was a
Russian-born Israeli painter. He is considered one of the pioneers of
Israeli abstract art.Stematsky was born in 1908 in Odessa. He joined the
Massad group in Tel Aviv. In 1929, he went to Paris to study at
Académie de la Grande Chaumière and Académie Colarossi. He was one of
the founders of the New Horizons group. He held his first solo
exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art at the age of 31. In the
constellation of Israel art, Stematsky and Yehezkiel Streichman stand
out as a pair. Although each developed his own distinct, individual
style, there are many points of affinity between them: a common
background as students of Bezalel in the 1920s, a response to the
influences of the Jewish School of Paris in the 1930s, and of the
"modern" (late cubist) art in the 1940s and fifties, when they were also
leading teachers in Tel Aviv.Wikipedia
