Ruth Dorrit Yacoby (Hebrew: רות דורית יעקובי; 28 April 1952 – 5 November 2015) was an Israeli painter and poet.
Biography[edit]
Yacoby was born in the Galilee to Canadian- and Iraqi-born immigrants Hilda (née Lyons) and Avraham Ezekiel, and was raised in Moshav Arbel.[1][2] She married Giora Yacoby on completion of her service in the Artillery Corps in 1972, and the two moved to Beersheba in 1976. There, she studied behavioural sciences at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and painting at the Visual Arts College. She went on to continue her artistic training at the Teachers Training College in Ramat Hasharon.[3]
Her first solo exhibition, entitled "Woman on an Illuminated Table," was held at the Israel Museum in 1987.[3] Yacoby's work has been since displayed at museums and galleries across Israel, as well as in Canada, Japan, Cuba, China, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Chile, and the Vatican.[2]
She died of cancer on 5 November 2015.[4]
