Alexander Wissotzky is a pen name jointly used by married couple, Tanya Wissotzky (1959-2006) and Alexander Galtchansky (1959-2008). They studied at the Kiev Institute of Arts and immigrated to Israel. She trained as an artist, and he as a book illustrator. They used calligraphy from old English flower painting manuals and stunning collage details in their works as well as calligraphic quotations from 1920’s Paris music scores. Their works are both nostalgic and romantic.
