Winnick Gallery

This series of eight oil paintings was gifted to the museum collection by the family of Ira and Ann Moskowitz in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem. In these emotionally powerful scenes, artist Ira Moskowitz (1912-2001) depicts events following the Six Days' War, June 1967. His use of vivid color and expressive brushwork conveys the euphoria of this victorious moment in Israel's history.
