Naftali Bezem. Aquarelle on paper. 24x16 cm. Signed.

Naftali Bezem (1924- 2018) was an Israeli painter, muralist, and sculptor.

Bezem was born in Germany in 1924. His early adolescence was spent under Nazi oppression, in constant fear for the safety of his parents, who perished in Auschwitz concentration camp. Naftali immigrated to Mandate Palestine in 1939, at the age of fourteen with a Youth Aliyah group.

From 1943 to 1946, he studied art at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem with Israeli painter Mordecai Ardon. He then spent three years studying in Paris. 

Bezem's son Yitzhak was killed in the 1975 Zion Square refrigerator bombing in downtown Jerusalem.

In addition to painting and sculpture, Bezem created murals, wall reliefs, tapestries, and stained glass windows.His most famous public works include a wall relief at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and the ceiling mural in the main reception room at the President's Residence, Jerusalem.
