Aharon Kahana, jug with two handles, painted and glazed ceramic. Signed: "Kahana".
Kahana (1905-1967), painter and artist born in Germany. Following the rise of the Nazis moved to Eretz Yisrael in 1934. His work was inspired by the "Canaanite Movement", by biblical motives and archaeological findings. "… this concept was derived from the ancient eastern art…but he gave it a new meaning, mainly decorative. This was emphasized in his ceramic works…" (Gabriel Talpir, "100 artists in Israel", page 60).
