SIGNED BY YOSL BERGNER with DEDICATION in English and Yiddish, dated 3.2.2005. This touching account of Bergner`s Australian years (1937-48) by Frank Klepner, who knew him personally, is a very interesting evaluation of both Bergner`s early artistic stages and post-war Australian art development. Of particular interest are the discussion of Bergner`s paintings of Australian aborigines (and their counterparts in other paintings from these years - the Jewish refugees from Warsaw ghetto) and his influence on major Australian artists of this generation (like Albert Tucker, Noel Counihan, Arthur Boyd and John Perceval). 255x175mm. 160 pages. Black cloth Hardcover with dust jacket. Spine with silver lettering. Cover upper corners and edge, and spine edges slightly bumped. [SUMMARY]: This book bearing a dedication by a major Israeli artist is in very good condition.
