He immigrated to Palestine in 1936 to study art. His father tried to discourage him from becoming an artist for financial reasons.[1] Pins's younger brother, Rudolph, (1920–2016)[2] moved to the United States in 1934. His father was sent to Buchenwald. In July 1944, both parents died in the Riga ghetto. Pins first lived on a kibbutz, which was disbanded in 1941. He moved to Jerusalem and studied woodcut and linocut under woodcut master and painter Jacob Steinhardt, also a German immigrant, at his small private school. He lived in poverty in a tiny room, subsisting on a meagre diet. He continued his studies at the new Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. Pins was married to Elsa, the subject of a number of his prints. They had no children. Pins bought his first Oriental print in 1945, and acquired a house on Ethiopia Street, opposite the Ethiopian church, where he lived for the rest of his life. He continued collecting until his death and was one of Israel's foremost art collectors. His book on Japanese Pillar prints, Hashira-e is the definitive work on the subject. Pins died in Jerusalem in December 2005. ***Tracking and insurance includedCHECK PHOTOS/SCANS FOR CONDITIONWe accept various payment methodsAny questions please do not hesitate to askTHANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS!!The last photo is my Social Media Group (FB) "Elite Team Auctions" If you would like to join for some great deals and new inventory Inventory: ART RACK ***
