Pressing the Grapes (1972)

11.5"x12.5" B/W edition 180 pcs

My father drew what he was interested in. He loved growing and harvesting grapes and making wine. As a boy, grapes grew near his home in Haifa. We had grapevines in our yard on Long Island and made wine in the fall. When we traveled to upstate New York, we visited many wineries.

The old-fashioned grape press in the small village is outside of Haifa and based on an early sketch from the late 1940's
