During the second decade of the twentieth century, Zaritsky stood out because of his modern approach, in contrast to the "Tower of David Period" paintings with their Land of Israel style. His works differed from these paintings in that they lacked local symbols, such as local people, camels, or donkeys. These works were still influenced by Russian modernism. However his later work shows a gradual disengagement from the traditions of this painting style. Zaritsky developed a painting style known as "lyrical abstraction." In this kind of abstraction the images are created by the way the brush is pulled along the surface of the painting in order to produce compositions and paint stains that are for the most part square, whose disengagement from the realistic source and adaptation to the spirit of the painting, its impression as he calls it, increased with the passing of the years. Ran Shechori claimed that "lyrical abstraction" is an original Zaritsky formulation for the French "unformal" or the American "Action painting."
