Through portrait sculptures, reliefs and memorials sculpted in stone, wood and bronze, the work of Batia Lichansky, Israel’s first woman sculptor, expresses the pioneer Zionist spirit during the formative years of the State of Israel and its struggle for existence.
Batia Lichansky was born in 1901 in Malin, Ukraine, the youngest of four daughters of Shoshanna (1865–1944) and Meir Yonah (1862–1942) Lishansky. Her older siblings were Sarah (1884–1924), Golda (Rahel Yanait Ben-Zvi, 1886–1979) and Tamar (1892–1983). She immigrated to Palestine in 1910 with her mother. Immediately after World War I she began to study at the Bezalel Institute, where her teachers included Boris Shatz (1866–1932), Abel Pann (1883–1963) and Ze’ev Raban (1890–1970). Finding her studies unsatisfactory, she left at the end of the year and went to study at the Academy of Art in Rome. When the 1921 riots broke out Lichansky returned to Palestine, joined the labor brigade and settled on Kibbutz En-Harod in 1922. Before a year had passed the urge to create spurred her to travel to Berlin, where she studied art for three years. She then studied for a further three years at the Beaux Arts Academy in Paris.
Lichansky’s artistic style developed in two directions: realistic-naturalistic and expressionistic. She remained faithful to her own style, uninfluenced by the changes of style in Israeli art over the years.
