Biography
She studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz under the guidance of W. Strzeminski and S.Wegner. She received her diploma in 1950. Already in 1948 she took part in the First Exhibition of Modern Art in Cracow. Soon after, she left for Israel on a scholarship, after which she settled permanently in New York. She presented her work in Lodz, Wroclaw, Krakow, Paris, Tel Aviv, Haifa and New York, among other cities. In 1956, she received first prize at an exhibition at Gallery Saks in Paris. The paintings, bordering on figuration and deformation, are rich in color and show the artist's truly expressionistic explorations. Noticeable in these canvases is a great and subtle sensitivity to the surrounding everyday life. Sobel's work is highly regarded by critics and art historians. Judith Sobel's paintings are in many private and museum collections around the world.
