Yakov Kaszemacher Zefat Israeli Art Photograph Signed Framed 14x11 Vintage c1980

An evocative signed photographic artwork titled “Zefat” by Israeli artist and photographer Yakov (Yaakov/Yacov) Kaszemacher, depicting a narrow stone passageway in the ancient city of Safed (Zefat/Tzfat), Israel.

Yakov Kaszemacher was born in France to Jewish Polish refugees who raised him in a secular environment. He became involved with the beatniks of the ‘50s and then the hippies of the ‘60s, both in the nightclubs of St. Germain Des Pres in Paris and then in Greenwich Village in New York. He embarked on a spiritual quest in 1971 and decided to live in Tzfat where he infused his artwork with Jewish, Hassidic and Kabbalistic content.

The photograph is marked “Zefat” at the lower left and signed by Kaszemacher at the lower right. It is attractively presented beneath a wide white mat in a narrow dark reddish-brown frame under glazing.
