Arie Aroch (b. Russia 1908 - 1974) was a seminal figure in bringing Israel from the modern to the contemporary art scene. He was an intellectual and Israel's ambassador to Brazil and Sweden. Aroch was a founder of the New Horizons group, but went on to create art works influenced by Rauschenberg and Twombly. He created a small but incredibly influential body of works which raised the level of art in Israel significantly - taking it from a provincial maker of semi-abstract works to a world class creator of contemporary art. His are among the rarest and most sought after Israeli art works.
