Abel Pann

1883–1963

Abel Pann (born Abba Pfeffermann) was a Latvian-born painter and printmaker, best known for his work in religious iconography. Pann studied at the Odessa School of Art before moving to Paris in 1903 to attend the Académie Julian. After working as an illustrator for French newspapers for nearly a decade, Pann left Paris for Jerusalem at the invitation of Boris Schatz, the founder and director of the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts, where Pann took a teaching position. Pann devoted his artwork to biblical themes. After purchasing a lithographic press while traveling in Vienna, in 1921 Pann opened Jerusalem’s first lithography workshop.
