Amos Yaskil was born in Haifa, Israel in 1935

to a German mother and Polish painter father.

          At the age of 10, he began painting in a

"wholly adult style," recognized by the artworld as sensational.

The author Arnold Zweig, having noticed his talent,

interviewed Amos at length for a British newspaper.

Superlatives such as "the Mozart-like, wonder-child-of-painting"

and "young genius" were used repeatedly to

describe the then 13 year-old Yaskil.

  Amos Yaskil is an autodidact. He learned from his father

the painter Avraham Yaskil that immigrated illegally from

Leipzig in 1934 and settled in Neve Shaanan, Haifa. 

His father Avraham Yaskil established the first Museum

in Neve Shaanan and opened an Art school in the Museum.

The development of Amos Yaskil paintings and prints,

Was  influenced by his father and his activities in other

artistic creations correspond to the different phases

of his life. In his art he combines the impressions of

the landscapes in which he lives with the influence of

 the French Impressionists and of the German

"Brucke" artists.

  For the last 32 years he has lived near the Sea of Galilee.

The world of Amos Yaskil is one where permanent

Spring holds sway in a breathtaking experience of color.

The rich color, brilliant sunlight, and natural beauty

of the region are clearly evident in his work and

enables the world to share in that beauty.

Yaskil exhibits regularly in Israel, Europe,

South America, the Far East and the United States.
