Tamar Getter, an Israeli painter, born in Tel Aviv in 1953.
Tamar Getter studied with Raffi Lavie in 1972-1973. She studied at Beit Berl Art College and holds a BA in literature from the University of Tel Aviv. For many years she was accompanied by the artist Moshe Kupferman.
Getter began to exhibit her works in 1973. In the second half of the 1970s she created a series of paintings known as the "Tel Hai" cycle." Her technique in painting tends to put together materials not usually combined. She worked in mixed media (e.g., photography and drawing) and adopted various perceptions of space in one work.
Between the years 1986-1995 she lived in Frankfurt, Germany.
Tamar Getter teaches art in Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and resides in Giv'atayim.
