A master of human realism and a foremost artist depicting both Jewish and everyday life in America, Schary's work is characterized by a love of humanity and observation, giving his work the unique visual signature, making it "a Schary."
Emanuel Schary grew up in Israel, an experience that has rewarded him with a rich repository of indelible images and emotions, which he repeatedly draws on and are an intrinsic ingredient in the Schary oeuvre.
Schary came to the United States to complete his studies in fine art, where he developed an immediate and irrevocable love of the color, life and earthiness of his two favorite New Yorks-the old and the new.
Emanuel Schary's paintings, pastels, limited edition original lithographs and serigraphs are in important private and museum collections both in the United States and abroad.
