Paul Kor was an artist and author, world-renowned for his paint­ings, books, illus­tra­tions and graph­ic design. He was born to a Jew­ish fam­i­ly in France in 1926. In 1948, Kor immi­grat­ed to Israel and began devel­op­ing a dis­tinct visu­al lan­guage. Dur­ing the 1960s, he designed ban­knotes, postal stamps and posters. His work became so wide­ly rec­og­nized that multi­na­tion­al com­pa­nies com­mis­sioned his work, includ­ing El-Al Air­lines, Elite and Coca-Cola. In the 1970s, Kor devel­oped an inter­est in children’s books. Flash the Fish won a cer­tifi­cate of mer­it from the Israel Muse­um and has been trans­lat­ed into a dozen lan­guages. Kor’s sen­sa­tion­al art­work has earned him count­less awards all over the world.
