context_page_description: Yehiel Rabinowitz is a Paris-based sculptor and painter. He has created a number of mural paintings and ceramic tile murals in public and private spaces throughout France, Spain, and Belgium. He is also responsible for creating sculptures out of sheets of aluminum and stainless steel in public and private spaces in France and Canada, such as “Les Otimistes” in Fougères, France. Rabinowitz began practicing art as a profession in the 1960s and rose to prominence through the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.
context_section_description: In 1971 his first mural painting was realized for the photographer Bernard Goustard. It was followed by many others, mainly in Paris, though few of these survive. By 1975, Rabinowitz's mural paintings had raised the attention of a number of architects, one of whom suggested to realize one in the newly built Renault site in Grand-Couronne. This new idea was endorsed by then company president Pierre Dreyfus and subsequently led to a number of mural paintings and murals of ceramic tiles in private and public spaces throughout France, Spain, and Belgium. Rabinowitz realized more than 100 mural paintings until 1999. Some of these are very large covering several thousand square meters. Several mural paintings were supplemented by floors of marble mosaic.
