[Cz-L] Moshe Barasch (1920-2004): Wunderkind & Art Historian

Czernowitzers...

Inspired by an article in "tomorrow's" edition - i. e. 30.10.1932/2010 - of "Der Tag - The Day", I've investigated the biography of another famous Czernowitzer:

Moshe Barasch - Wunderkind & art historian of great international renown

>From the above mentioned article (p. 2), we learn, that the young Moshe Barasch showed himself to have substantial art talent; by age 12, he had already exhibited his drawings and paintings in Czernowitz. He was Senior Fellow at Cornell University’s Society for Humanities [Bruce - !?] in 1981 and the same year Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Pennsylvania State University. In 1996 he was the recipient of the Israel Prize, and elected corresponding member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences. Barasch was the first Israeli art historian to attain worldwide recognition, lecturing widely at institutions in Europe and the United States.

As a tribute to Moshe Barasch (1920-2004), I posted an article to our Ehpes.com Blog:

There you'll find his artwork "Begger" from the year 1938, his biography and - A MUST FOR ALL CZERNOWITZER CONCERNED WITH THE JEWISH CEMETERY - a download link to his illustrated article from the year 1988 for Artibus et Historiae:

Reflections on Tombstones: Childhood Memories

There you'll find very rare pictures of different tombstones as well as a introduction to their visual significance!
