My Floral Design

Does anyone have info on an Israeli artist, last name Peretz?

I don't know his first name, but was told he only painted for people he knew and only painted a few dozen paintings. I have one of his paintings which is quite large 40" x 40" and is titled "Peaceful Moment" and is a floral impressionistic style painting primarily in blues. I was told he was 104 when he died (this may not be accurate) although I don't know when he died. I was told the painting was appraised in 1973, so the artist must be know in some art circles. His signature,which is only his last name, is in all caps in a block style. The frame which is original to the painting is ornate wood. I have searched the internet, but have not found any artist that fits the facts that I have on this artist.

2. There are archives of all Israeli artists - well and lesser known in the Helena Rubinstein Art Library at Tel Aviv Museum. Drop an email - with the title: For attention archivist to this address E- mail:mtalib@tamuseum.com And ask if they could check out whether there is a file on him.
