Remained in the same family collection
In the Early 1950's, after the death of Joaquín Torres García, Jose Gurvich traveled through Europe and Israel.
He settled for a brief period in Kibbutz Ramot Menashe where his sister Myriam and his parents lived.
While living in the Kibbutz he worked as a shepherd and was asked to paint a mural for the public dining room. It was there that he came to grips with his Jewish ancestry and took part in what was the birth of the Jewish State. Living at the kibbutz he painted the world and the reality which surrounded him; Israeli pastoral and religious traditions and Yiddish folklore.
