    Early Period

    "The shtetl period"

     

    While no early works of the artist survive, slightly later examples indicate much of the artist's experience in his formative years. These works concentrate on various individuals remembered from his childhood in Staszow and include both local characters occupied in everyday activities and those rabbinical students busy studying in the heder.
