Marion Baruch

Marion Baruch began her artistic studies in 1948 at the Bucharest Academy of Fine Arts. The following year, she continued her education at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, where she studied under the painter Mordecai Ardon.

In 1953, she held an exhibition at the Micra-Studio Gallery in Tel Aviv, which led to a scholarship that enabled her to move to Italy in 1954. She subsequently studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome.

During the 1960s, Baruch’s artistic language underwent a radical transformation. Gradually moving beyond figurative art, she developed a gestural approach increasingly oriented towards abstraction and graphic expression. This evolution eventually led to a new sculptural language, which emerged between the late 1960s and early 1970s through a series of large-scale works.
