Kremenchug-born Emmanuel Mane-Katz (1894-1962), studied in Vilna and Kiev before moving to Paris in 1913 to paint at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. In 1928, he made his maiden voyage to British Mandate Palestine and subsequently visited the Land of Israel annually from his home in France. Strongly affiliated with the Ecole de Paris, Mane-Katz was well known for his depictions of the “shtetl” world. Following his death the artist left his artworks to the city of Haifa where the Mane Katz Museum was established.
