LANDSCAPES
"...as Luftglas was not concerned with producing precise realistic landscapes, he could paint views of the Galilee - Tiberias, Menara or Nazareth - even in his studio in Tel-Aviv.
In his quest for the spiritual and metaphysical, he would closely observe the places he visited and then later envelope them in what seems to be a mist rising skyward from the ground."

In these two we can his efforts to use the same technic he used for the
Biblical themes but this time with brighter palettes which more suited the Israeli light.
