Ben Gurion (1974)

10" X14"/B/W EDITION OF 40 PCS

David Ben Gurion (1886-1973) is well-known in Israel and worldwide. My father shared many stories about him with me. He was Israel's first Prime Minister and delivered Israel's declaration of independence in 1948. This etching with debossed writing is the third and last linotype my father created and dedicated to Ben Gurion. The simple line drawing is intentional, so it does not detract from the effect of the debossing.

Debossing details took months to create. This piece was dedicated to David Ben Gurion. Most of this edition was donated to organizations to raise funds for Israel.
