| "Yitzhak
Greenfield has become the incarnation of an art inspired by and expressing Jerusalem. This
alchemy is a result of his great talent, his poetic mind, his dedication to his art and
his professional achievements as a painter and printmaker. The landscape of Israel,
especially the Earthly and Heavenly Jerusalem, has always been a major source of his art.
His love of the bible, the Kabbala, and archeology has brought new elements into his
unique vision." Miriam Tal, member of the International Association of Art Critics. |

| "In
Yitzhak Greenfield's Art I do feel that the reflective insights the paintings suggest are
beyond mere fantasy...They suggest the delightful tension expressed so concisely by
Aristotle: "Thought is not image but never exists without image." They are
the "springboards to transcendental realities." Fr. Keven J. Kidd OFM, Jerusalem |
|||
| . | |||
| "In
Yitzhak Greenfield's landscapes discovery of his environment and crystallization of his
technique are intermeshed, developed in parallel...The results are closer to symbols than
to simple visual realities." Yona Fischer, Israel Museum, Jerusalem |
