    Description

    ART - "The Jewish Candlelighter" - Painting: Morris L. Katz ©1963: Morris Katz (born Moshe Katz on March 5, 1932-November 12, 2010) was a Polish-American painter. He holds two Guinness World Records as the world's fastest painter and the world's most prolific artist. Katz was born in 1932 in Galicia, Poland. At age 13 he studied under Dr. Hans Fokler of the Munich Academy. After World War II, he lived for a while in a displaced persons camp, where he earned a diploma in carpentry. He moved to the United States in 1949, when he took a job in carpentry while maintaining a sideline with his art. While working on his unpublished Dictionary of Color in 1956, he decided to try painting with his palette knife instead of his brushes. After some time he also began experimenting with the use of rags; when he ran out of rags he turned to toilet tissue. As of February 2007, over his career he had painted more than 280,000 paintings. This Photochromatic postcard, copyrighted in 1963, offers a woman preparing for prayer. The card is in good condition. No. 4662-C.
