Born in Galicia to Zionist parents, Roth (1914-2002) moved with his family to Germany in 1920 and then emigrated to Palestine in 1933 - first living in Tel Aviv, and then in Kibbutz Afikim where he worked as a shepherd. Later he studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was clearly influenced by the Cubist movement.
