Biography
Efrat Natan grew up on Kibbutz Kfar Ruppin in the Beit She'an Valley.[1] She studied with Raffi Lavie. Her art was influenced by life on the kibbutz and utopian ideals.[2] [3]Her sculpture "Swing of the Scythe" (2002) is in the permanent exhibition of the Israel Museum. Composed of scythes arranged in a circle, the work draws on Natan's childhood memories growing up on a kibbutz as well as the myth of the Zionist pioneer, symbolizing the renewed relationship between the Jews and the land.[4]
