Dina Recanati (1928–2021)
Born in Cairo, 1928. In 1946 she moved to England, where she began studying art. In 1948 moved to New York and continued in her art studies.
Recanati’s main medium of art is sculpture. Her woks, containing images of books or parchments, were influenced by the American abstract expressionism and its use of large surfaces of color.
During 1980–81 Recanati worked with the Jerusalem Print Workshop and created screenprints using her language of large surfaces of flat color.
