painter and writer of Jewish origin. After surviving the Holocaust, in 1948 moved to Israel, and since 1993 lives in the United States.
Samuel Bak is a conceptual artist with elements of postmodernism. His works intertwine the stories of the Jewish people and biblical motifs. Authentic style combines details of perfect figures with metaphysical spaces. The artist specifically interprets iconography, symbols. The best to recognize his works: "R.K. in memory" (1968), "Departing" (1875-1998), "Guardian Angel of Travelers" (1985), "Flight from Berlin" (1990), "Work" (1999). His works since 1959 exhibited in various galleries and museums of the world's cities in Rome, London, Paris, Montreal, Jerusalem, etc.

The artist never depicts mass death scenes. Instead, he uses allegory, metaphor, and certain artistic substitutes, such as toys instead of the murdered children who played with them, or books instead of the people who read them. In the late 1980s, Mr. Bak said that his paintings convey the feeling of a broken world. Many of his works depict Jewish culture and the Holocaust
