Very Rare Sandu Liberman Shabbas Candles VIII B Lithograph, Signed Artist Proof. Circa 1970s

Very rare, extremely limited artist proof, signed in pencil by artist Sandau Liberman. This touching color lithograph of a young woman blessing the Shabbas candles displays his bold use of color with a deep ruby red background and shawl over the woman's head. Sandu Liberman was a Romanian-born Israeli painter known for his depictions of dancers, city life, and nudes. His portraits often feature women in prayer framed by votive candles. Born in 1923 in Yasi, Romania, Liberman began exhibiting his work as a young man. He took part in state-sponsored shows between 1946 and 1953, receiving the gold medal at the International Art Festival of Romania in 1952. Settling in Israel in 1962, he received many commissions from the Israeli Government to paint portraits of high-ranking officials. The artist died in 1977 in Israel. Beautifully matted and framed. Large at 25x30”. Bought at auction many years ago and enjoyed having it hanging on my living room wall for many years. I’m ready for it to go to a new home. Will probably not consider offers. I’m already asking much less than what it’s worth.
