For the first time in Israel, the Beit Avi Chai Gallery will present a retrospective exhibition of the artist Anatoly Kaplan. The exhibition will host more than 100 original works exhibited on three floors that include prints, ceramics, oil and gouache paintings, and books illustrated by Kaplan.
Anatoly Kaplan (born in 1902 in the town of Rogachov, a small shtetl in what is now Belarus; died in Leningrad in 1980) was one of the major Jewish-Soviet artists of the 20th century. Kaplan’s artistic oeuvre includes Jewishly-themed artistic creations for Jewish literature, depictions of Jewish life, and of Rogachov, his beloved town of birth. Many of Kaplan’s works have never been exhibited in Israel. Compared to Chagall and Soutine, the artist was never permitted to leave the Soviet Union. The exhibition will be shown at Beit Avi Chai between the months of January and August 2023.
Opening hours: Sunday-Thursday 10:00 a.m. -6:00 p.m. Friday – 09:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Entry to the exhibition is free and requires prior registration.
