Ori Reisman

Later in his life he moved to France for a period of two years and when he returned to Tel Aviv he began studying at the art studio of Yitzhak Frenkel Frenel.

After graduating he started his training at Kibbutz Yagur where he met Mazal Hamdi and they married.

In the early 1950s, Reisman spent two years in Paris studying at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts and attending painter Jean Souverbie's Monumental Art workshop.

Israeli artists Lea Nikel, Eliahu Gat, and Michael Gross were also in Paris at the time, and Reisman formed long-lasting friendships with them.

Upon his return to the kibbutz, Reisman opened a studio in an abandoned building, where he worked on his art several times a week.
