Chana Orloff, Israeli, 1888-1968, born Russian Empire, active in France and Israel
Chana Orloff was born in Kamenka, Ekaterinoslav province, today Ukraine, to a poor Jewish family with many children. As a child, she studied Hebrew. In 1905, she immigrated to the Land of Israel with her parents and settled in Petah Tikva. Later the family moved to Neve Tzedek. In 1910, she went to Paris to study art at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. There she grew close to the Jewish artists of the Paris school and other modernists. She spent 1943-1945 in Switzerland, where she continued to work. After the war, she returned to France, but regularly visited and exhibited her work in Israel.
Orloff was influenced by French modernist art of the early 20th century. Her early work shows subtle Cubist influence reflected in the geometric character of some of her sculptures. Her later work is freer and more expressive in style. Her best known works are a bust of Shmaryahu Levin (1920), "Mother and Child" (1924), a bust of Hanna Rovina (1935) and the Dov Gruner memorial (1958).
