Amos Yaskil has been called the “Matisse of Israel” as a recognition of his colorful romantic impressionist paintings.

== Background ==
Amos Yaskil grew up in Haifa, the son of a Polish-German father who was a painter. Yaskil began painting when he was 10 and his father allowed him to develop his own style, believing that it would be inappropriate to guide or “teach” him. Yaskil fought in the Golan Heights during the 1967 Six Day War and subsequently returned to the Galilee to live and paint. He chose to settle in Tiberias because he preferred to live in a city that did not have a large artist population. Yaskil makes his home on the hill overlooking the Old Center of Tiberias and works in his studio which is built into the Tiberias city wall. He is active in Galilee environmental movements and decries the region’s urbanization and development.
