Shlonsky the leader of the generation of modernist Hebrew writings in
the cohort that followed Brenner and Bialik. He was particularly active

those who feel that modern Hebrew syntax has more to do with Russian

Shlonsky is the one to blame. In his later career be came to represent a
more conservative stream within Hebrew literature Litvinovsky
attended the Odessa Academy of Art, the Bezalel Academy of Art &
Design, and the Academy of Art, Petrograd, in 1917. He was influenced
by Constructivism. In 1926, he designed the sets for the Habima
production of Ansky's Dybbuk. In later years he worked in Expressionist
and then Minimalist styles. He has had exhibits at the major Israeli Art
Museums and his works sell well in only in the four and five figure
range. (47506) $125.00
