Avigdor Arikha, 1929-2010

Avigdor Arikha, who survived a Nazi concentration camp and a near-fatal wound in Israel's War of Indpendence, died April 29 at his home in Paris.

A brilliant draughtsman, Arikha was considered one of Israel's and Europe's most important artists. His work can be seen at the Louvre, the Tate Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and other major collections. He was named a knight in France's Legion of Honor.

"I paint not to get a copy of nature but to get with the brush what I see while I see it."
