Anna Ticho

Anna Ticho (Hebrew: אנה טיכו; 27 October 1894 – 1 March 1980) was an Israeli artist who became famous for her drawings of the Jerusalem hills.[3] She developed a severe case of typhus, and during her recovery, Ticho returned to her art by sketching landscape scenes, foreshadowing later mastery of this genre.In December 1918, Dr. Ticho established a private clinic north of the ruined Lemaan Zion building and Anna worked as her husband's assistant.[8] Toward the end of her life, she willed the Ticho house, her art collection—including many of her own works—and her husband's extensive Judaica collection to the Israel Museum.[10] While the dramatically different light of the Middle East and the starkness of the landscape inhibited her artistic pursuits at first, in the 1930s Ticho went back to drawing and painting.
