Yankel Ginzburg
Yankel Ginzburg was born in 1945 in Soviet Russia, close to the Chinese border, to parents who were both Russian army officers. His father, who was a lawyer, fled Poland to join Russia’s army. His mother’s father was General Marshal Georgi Zhukov, who helped to defeat Hitler in WWII. Ginzburg has a Jewish heritage through his father’s line, but his parents kept this secret from him until the age of nine for security reasons. He and his parents moved to Israel in 1957. After graduating with honors from the Institute of Art, serving two years in the military, receiving several art awards, and participating in one-man art shows in Israel and Italy, Ginzburg had his first solo exhibition in the United States at the National Gallery of Art at the invitation of First Lady Ladybird Johnson.
