Samuel Bak had the first exhibition of his drawings at the age of nine in the Vilna Ghetto. Escaping after its destruction, he emigrated to Israel, where he studied at the Bezalel Art School in Jerusalem. Now living in the Boston area, Bak has had numerous solo exhibitions of his work at galleries and museums in the United States, Israel, and Europe.
