The Hadera-born Givati had lived in New York in the 1980s. The possibility of exhibiting his paintings in the Big Apple energized him to paint again. Givati was born in 1934 and was a member of Kibbutz Sha’ar Ha’amakim. He studied with Marcel Janco and at the Avni Art Institute, but acquired most of his painterly education by observing young art in exhibitions throughout Israel in the 1960s.
