From the beginning of his artistic career, he was drawn to depict the life of the Orthodox Jewish communities of which he himself was a part, in both New York and Jerusalem. Working in a realistic yet painterly style, Holtz portrayed the real people around him--their prayer houses, their streets, their work, and their celebrations. His work forms an intimate guide to the Jewish world, approached with the sensitivity, confidence, and thorough familiarity that only someone living and breathing it could attain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handsome volume reproduces a generous selection of Holtz's finest paintings, as well as his drawings and prints.
