In 1921, during the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Aliya , he immigrated to Palestine as a member of the Pioneer Movement (\u201cTnuat Hehalutz\u201d). During his first seven years in Palestine he lived in Haifa, where he studied painting with Herman Shtrock and sculpture with Eliezer Shtrock. Afterwards, Shor began working alongside painter Menachem Shemi, who encouraged him to find his own unique artistic voice. During the 20\u2019s and 30\u2019s he was a member of an artistic collective and exhibited many of his work at the &#8220;Ohel Theatre&#8221; in Tel Aviv. He was also a member of \u201cMesed\u201d group, along with artists: Aharon Avni, Avigdor Steimatzky, Arie Aroch, Yosef Kossonogi, David Hendler, Mordechai Levanon and Israel Paldi. Shor was also one of the founders of the Petah Tikva Museum of Art, in collaboration with Baruch Oren, who was the museum\u2019s first director. Therefore, in 1954, he was the first artist to exhibit his works at the museum. Currently, the Petah Tikva Museum of Art exhibits more than 60 of his works in the framework of its permanent display.<\/p>\n<p>During the 50\u2019s Shor was the head of\u00a0an atelier, located near the museum; there, he taught painting, sculpture and ceramics. He\u00a0mainly painted landscapes, depicting the urban development of Petah Tikva and its surroundings. He used to go outside, armed with a folding chair, canvases and colors, and paint the landscapes of the Sharon region. Joseph Zaritsky wrote about Shor: \u201cif we had three painters like Zvi Shor, we would have a tradition of Israeli painting&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He was twice the winner of Dizengoff Award &#8211; in 1939 and 1949. He passed away in 1979 in Petah Tikva.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still life with Flowers; Oil on Canvas\u00a0 49X64\u00a0cm Zvi Shor Zvi Shor as born in 1898 in Ukraine.
