Sculptural Candelabra Menorah

Creator: David Palombo
Offered by: Tishu

Description
A very sculptural menorah or candelabra made with welded hammered iron and rocks by Israeli sculptor David Palombo (1920–1966). It has a very impressive "brutalist" presence. Rare piece with rocks intact.

David Palombo was an Israeli sculptor and painter. He was born in Turkey and immigrated to the Land of Israel with his parents in 1923. In 1940 he began his studies at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, and from 1942 as a student of sculptor Ze’ev Ben-Zvi. For a period of time, Palombo was an assistant at Ben-Zvi’s studio and also taught at Bezalel.
