Biography

Yaakov Eisensher (1896-1980) was an Israeli painter, born in Cubina (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire).

In his youth, Eisensher studied at the School of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria.

In World War I, Eisensher fought, was captured by the Italian army, and remained in a POW camp until the end of the war, where he painted extensively about the camp.

In the early 1930s, Eisensher emigrated to Paris, where he was exposed to Cubist art, and in 1935, he immigrated to Israel.

Starting in 1952, Eisensher taught art at the Bamla School in Jerusalem.

Eisensher's early works were mostly drawings and woodcuts, mainly in an expressive style. From the 1950s onwards, Eisensher painted mainly in oil, depicting landscapes, houses and figures, in a Cubist style.

Eisensher won many awards for his work, including the Dizengoff Prize for painting and sculpture
