David Lan-Bar, born David Langberg on December 26, 1911, in Rava-Rouska, Poland, fled the pogroms and settled in Jerusalem in 1934. A student of Miron Sima at the Hebrew University, he then lived in Tel Aviv before moving to Paris in 1948, in search of new artistic inspiration. His work evolved towards abstraction, favoring the superposition of colors and the density of the paste, giving rise to a style described as "abstract impressionism" by Jean-Pierre Delarge.
Lan-Bar exhibited in numerous museums and biennials around the world, including the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris and the Art Institute of Chicago. His artistic contributions earned him the title of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He died in Paris on March 26, 1992, leaving behind a body of work marked by chromatic richness and expressive intensity.
