Biography
Nahum Tevet was born in 1946, in Kibbutz Mesilot, Israel. He lives and works in Tel Aviv. In 1962, he studied at the Oranim Seminar in Kiryat Tiv'on. In 1968, he attended the Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv. In 1969-1971, he studied with Raffi Lavie.
Artistic career
Nahum Tevet was the most extreme of the Israeli Minimalists in the mid-1970s. He saw creativity as a process based on a system of abstentions and reductions; the aim of the creative process being to impart the essence of the plastic medium. However, at least two qualities in his work break the rules of Minimalism: the lyric quality of his color and line, and the frequent resemblance of his works to real objects, like tables or beds. This utilitarian element was later to be developed in sculpture in the West.
Teaching career
In 1980 Nachum Tevet was appointed to the faculty of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem and served as director of its M.F.A. program for the years 2001-2010.
