Uri Reisman

Uri Reisman was an Israeli painter born in Kibbutz Tel Yosef. He moved with his family to Tel Aviv and spent two years in Paris. Reisman was a founding member of Kibbutz Beit HaArava near the Dead Sea and later Kibbutz Kabri in the Western Galilee.

Reisman studied art under Yitzhak Frenkel and spent several years in Paris, studying at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and in the studio of painter Jean Souverbie. Upon returning to Israel, he established a studio in Kibbutz Kabri and traveled back to Paris in the 1970s.

Reisman's work did not receive artistic recognition until after his death. He exhibited at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Mishkan Museum of Art at Ein Harod.

His works covered various themes, including portraits and customs of the Yemenite community (he married a Yemenite woman), as well as numerous landscapes and portraits.
