Harry Weinsaft, 40x30 Acrylic/Collage, "Forgive Us, O Lord, For Our Sins"
Harry Weinsaft (MI, 1923-1999), 40x30 Acrylic/Collage, signed verso, "Forgive Us, O Lord, For Our Sins", inscribed by the artist en verso, unframed; covered with a heavy lacquer
Following his discharge from the army, he accepted a job from the Jewish Agency staying in Vienna and assisting Jewish displaced persons to facilitate their emigration to Palestine and the United States. He subsequently joined the crew of the ship Exodus and, as its security officer, participated in its fateful voyage to Palestine. He tells the true story of that voyage which differs somewhat from the movie version. After the formation of Israel, Weinsaft fought in the Israeli army.
After his return to the United States, Weinsaft became an art dealer in Michigan. After attending a reunion of the Exodus crew in Israel in 1988, he suffered a stroke. He became very proficient and was widely recognized as an impressionist painter.
