Engelsberg studied art in Warsaw in the period tollowing World War II. Upon his immigration he settled in Jerusalem and was captured by its mountainous scenery. His landscapes are steeped in earthy hues of brown, ocher, and green, surmounted by wintery shades of sky-blue. The vigorous brush strokes form squares, circles, and arcs, and long colored lines dissect the planes ot the wadis and slopes, depicted in forcefully flowing rhythms. Engelsberg defines his relationship to Jerusalem as a personal-emotional approach, attuned to nature and concealing the "scars" inflicted on it by man. Thus the landmarks of Jerusalem - the Temple Mount, the mosques and churches - are missing trom Engelsberg's scenic panoramas, reduced to structural elements absorbed into the spectrum of colors forming the composition. Comparison with a photograph reveals that View of Mounf Zion renders the artist's sublective perception of the landscape: certain buildings have disappeared; treetops and clouds are rendered by vigorous brush strokes, forming colorful geometric patterns which nonetheless preserve a degree of figurativeness.

Enrique Weisz was born in 1931 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He has been living in Uruguay since the age of five and therefore sees himself as a Uruguayan-Israeli artist. In Carmelo, a small town in Uruguay he finished primary and secondary school. His talent for drawing and painting was evident at an early age. When he was 16, his family moved to the capital Montevideo, where he was exposed to art museums and galleries. He enrolled in different art schools and studied painting. The studies did not meet his expectations, and in 1959, he joined the ?Torres Garcia Workshop?. There, his identity as an artist was fully formated under the guidance of the maestros Guillermo Fernandez and Jos? Gurvich. The rigid discipline of this school provided him with the concepts: structure, unity, universality and the golden measure, he still applies those concepts although they have undergone several modifications. Between the years 1959 ? 1963, his work was displayed in group exhibitions of the school. In 1963, he immigrated to Israel and he made a few group exhibitions. In 1966, he returned to Uruguay; however, in 1973, decided to settle down in Israel. He became a member of Kibbutz Givat Hashlosha, where he still lives today. Since then, he has been painting and exhibiting regularly in Israel and abroad. In 1990, he was qualified as an art teacher at the ?Ramat Hasharon Art School? and he serves, as art teacher today.

Elhanan Halpern Halpern acquired the basis of painting in the studios of Yehezkel Streichman and Avigdor Stematsky, but taught at the Avni Art Institute largely by virtue of his natural talent. His watercolors convey the artist's affinity to the landscape in a style practiced by several local aquarellists at the time. Halpern, who did not subscribe to the abstract dictum of New Horizons, aligned himself with a group of artists who favored a distinctly regional art. His work forged a synthesis between representations of the local landscape, bathed in light, and abstraction, Thus, in his renderings of the bare and arid Negev and Arava scenery, the brightness of the sun dissolves the objects, fusing them with the abstract desert planes. In the views of Jerusalem and Safed, in contrast, the figurative elements dominate: stone buildings, cliffs, and typical mountain vegetation. In Halpern's oils the paint is layered in heavy impasto, creating a kind of three-dimensional relief. In the 1970s, his quest to render the local light made him mix oil with scintillating marble dust. The paint layers gradually became less viscous, but the weight of the paint itself increased and the sense of plastic density was retained. In Landscape, the ocher hues of the mountains, set against the azure sky, are thickly applied, layer upon layer, evincing the characteristic work process of this artist.

Ephraim Moshe Lilien was one of the two artists to accompany Boris Schatz to Eretz Israel in 1906 for the purpose of establishing Bezalel, and taught the schools first class. Although his stay in the country was short -lived, he left his indelible stamp on the creation of an Eretz Israel style, placing biblical subjects in the Zionist context and oriental setting, conceived in an idealized Western design. In the first two decades of the century, Liliens work was the model for the Bezalel group.
