Title translates to English as "Shalom Aleichem and his Heroes. " David Labkovski, the illustrator, grew up in Vilna, the Jerusalem of Lithuania. Indeed much of his work focused on its destroyed Jewish community and life under Soviet curtain. While he is post known for his portrayal of Jewish life in Vilna, his later work explores a greater range of topics, including the present work on Shalom Aleichem. Labkovski’s full body of work was created in Israel and many commentators have noted the dramatic difference between his early work, depicting scenes from his past, to the landscapes, florals and portraits of his new surroundings. This emerging renewal can be seen in the expressions of his subjects and the vibrant palate. Labkovski was a prolific artist, amassing an extensive portfolio. SUBJECTS: Jews -- Periodicals.
