Jozsef Jakovits - Cabala2

In the Hungarian National Gallery he is labeled “Post-Surrealist”, but Jakovits viewed himself as a Primitivist, declaring his main sources to be “cave painting, the tribal art of primitive peoples, and the archaic periods of the great religious cultures”—including Judaic lettering and mysticism. Jakovits is virtually unknown in the United States, despite having lived as a practicing artist in New York City between 1965 and 1987.
