Rudi (Rudolf) Lehmann (1903-1977), a sculptor and printmaker, born in Berlin. Studied at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee, where he met ceramic artists Hedwig Grossman, whom he later married. In 1933, with the Nazi's rise to power, the couple moved to Palestine. Lehmann's work were minimalist in style; he played a pioneering role in modern sculpture in Israel, influencing an entire generation of artists.
