Zinoa Tajar (also called Sinoah Tagger), the
first artist born in modern Israel, comes
from one of the 60 founding families of
the city of Tel Aviv. She studied during the
1920s at the Academy of Jerusalem as
well as in Paris and belongs to the most
significant Israeli artists of Modern Times.
In her paintings she combines modernism
and sophistication with the philosophy,
warmth and optimism of old Israel. Loose
brushstrokes, dynamic, vivid colours,
Mediterranean light and local “Israeli style”
are the characteristics of Tajar’s work and
confirm her reputation as one of the most
significant artists of the country.
