I want more of his paintings.

The drawings he did as a young boy were much more disturbing.

That he was able to survive this and have a full and successful career (his later works betray none of the horror) is a testimony to human resilience (or maybe the ability to deny and repress memory).

His later work deals with olive trees and Israeli objects. Very talented. It "talks" to me.
