Mr. Ben Yehuda, with a directness and fluency which is quite characteristic of his Semitic ancestry, paints from the heart. He is in fact, a lyricist in paint and his pictures have their analogies in poetry. He sees in painting, not a means of interpreting the outer world, but a means of expressing the inner self. That is why he uses the essentials of visionary art, lyricism and symbolism.
