Moshe Gershuni was one of the first artists in Israel to explore highly modernistic , iconoclastic possibilities, at the end of the 1960s creating works which were paradigms of Conceptual art, and in the 1970s extending his art to public performance. As a stimulating teacher in [[Bezalel]], he fueled the imagination of many young artists, especially towards political involvement. At the [[Venice Biennale]] in 1980, Gershuni showed paintings on paper in red lacquer, amidst canals of blood, creating an atmosphere of [[Holocaust]]. Immediately afterwards he began a period of painting which stands out as a milestone in [[Israel]]i art. Using free scrawl, drip, finger paint and calligraphy, he suggests personal, Zionist, [[Moslem]] and [[Christian]] symbols. These works seem to have been created in a trance. His recent silk screens ("Kaddish") are among the finest produced in the country in recent years.

He spent his childhood in Tel Aviv and graduated from the local religious high school in 1954. He has two siblings; a brother named Avshalom and a sister named Mira. From 1960 to 1964 he studied at the Avni Institute of Art and Design, an Israeli art school located in Tel Aviv.[1] Moshe Gershuni was one of the first artists in Israel to explore highly modernistic, iconoclastic possibilities, at the end of the 1960s creating works which were paradigms of Conceptual art, and in the 1970s extending his art to public performance. As a stimulating teacher in Bezalel, he fueled the imagination of many young artists, especially towards political involvement. At the Venice Biennale in 1980, Gershuni showed paintings on paper in red lacquer, amidst canals of blood, creating an atmosphere of Holocaust.
