"Benni Efrat (b.1935 Lebanon) An Israeli artist who settled in London in 1966, and later moved to the USA. Primarily a sculptor and film maker, he was concerned during the 1960s and 1970s, with movement, and the flow of time and energy. He also explored the relationships between object and space, using light and shadows to define matter, in works such as August, from the Undercover Blues Series (1980).Barbara Reise corresponded with Efrat and he asked her to write about his work. I like art which poses problems for everyone else but doesn't set out to solve them; art whose implications outstrip one's comprehension at any one point in its confrontation...I like art whose context is (or wants to be) the whole history of art and not just the styles and sales of the last decade. I don't like a lot of "art". But I very much like the art of Benni Efrat'
