Also known as
Moshé Tamir, משה טמיר, Moshe Tulchinsky
Moshe Tamir (1924–2004) was an Israeli painter, printmaker, and art educator born in Odessa, Ukraine. Authority records document his emigration to Palestine as a child, although they differ on whether this occurred in 1927 or 1931. His practice encompassed painting, engraving, lithography, drawing, and book illustration. Bibliographic records connect him with a 1953 print titled Woman with a Flower and with illustrated publications. Beyond his studio practice, Tamir served as a director of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem and as an inspector responsible for art education in Israel's Ministry of Education and Culture. These roles place him within Israeli art and arts education, but the collected sources do not support assigning him to a specific movement or school. Collectors may encounter his name in Hebrew, under transliterations such as Moshé Tamir, or in records using his earlier surname, Tulchinsky. Careful identity matching is therefore important when connecting works, catalogues, and auction records.

Common works and media
Documented work types include paintings, engravings, lithographs, drawings, prints, and book illustrations. IdRef and BnF records identify Tamir as a painter and engraver, while linked bibliographic records document lithographic and illustrative roles, a 1953 print titled Woman with a Flower, and a publication containing seven drawings. The collected evidence does not establish a dominant subject, named series, characteristic edition format, or especially active market period.
Market and appraisal context
An appraisal should first distinguish Tamir's paintings from his prints, lithographs, drawings, and illustrated material because authority records document several kinds of work under his name. Dating and identity matching also require care: catalogues use different Hebrew transliterations and sometimes the earlier surname Tulchinsky, so related records may not appear under one spelling. Relevant public auction comparisons should be organized by work type and sale date. This source pack, however, supplies no lot-level evidence about condition, provenance, dimensions, signatures, editions, or realized-price trends. Those object-specific details and suitable comparable sales should be verified before reaching a value conclusion.
