Ruth Zarfati, Israeli, 1928-2010
Ruth Zarfati (Sternschuss) was born in Petah Tikvah. Her father was a pioneer and amateur painter. As a girl, she studied painting with Aharon Avni at Tichon Hahadash high school in Tel Aviv. After graduating, she enrolled at the Avni Institute, where she studied with the sculptor Moshe Sternschuss. In 1949 she married Sternschuss and joined the New Horizons group. She mainly painted portraits influenced by French sculpture. In the 1960s, she began to sculpt mothers and babies. These works were a deviation from the radical abstraction embraced by the New Horizons artists.
In the 1950s, Zarfati moved into applied arts, illustrating books and designing ceramic jewelry, toys and dolls for Maskit and other companies. Among her best known work are the illustrations for Dodi Simha (1964), a classic Israeli children's book by Ayin Hillel.
