Care-Giving

Read More
A recurring image in Yacoby’s paintings is that of a delicate feminine silhouette, with arms extended. It is an all-embracing, simplified painterly gesture of femininity.
Yacoby engaged with universal themes of femininity, such as procreation and motherhood – sidelined by Israeli male painters of her era – through the lens of an Israeli woman, wife and mother.
Aware of the complexity of being a woman in a patriarchal society, she created a visual corpus of sensitivities and knowledge around the social and environmental implications of feminine “care-giving.”
