Summary:
Pinchas Shaar (1923–1996), figural oil on canvas painting depicting a group of highly stylized figures holding colorful flags or banners.

Bio
Pinchas Shaar (1923–1996) was born Pinkus Szwarc in Lódz, Poland. As a young artist he studied under important Polish avant-garde painter Wladyslaw Strzeminski, who helped organize an early exhibition of his work. During the Holocaust, Shaar lived in the Lódz Ghetto and was later deported to concentration camps. Following liberation, he lived in Bavaria and participated in the 1948 Exhibition of Jewish Artists at the Lenbachhaus, where he showed 46 works, including designs created for Yiddish theater.

He emigrated to Paris in 1948 and Israel in 1951, adopting the name Pinchas Shaar. His work frequently incorporates stylized figures, Jewish history and folklore, theatrical imagery, animals, and symbolic or fantastical subjects. Shaar exhibited internationally, including at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Jewish Museum in New York, and the Israeli Pavilion at the 1960 Venice Biennale.
