The artists' village of Ein Hod is located next to the old road from Tel Aviv to Haifa, on a hill overlooking the shores of Atlit and the Crusader fortress. The village was founded in 1953, about five years after the establishment of the state of Israel, following an idea conceived by a group of revolutionary artists led by Marcel Janko: to establish the first artist village in Israel that would provide a supportive, creative and fertile environment for its residents.
The first decades were difficult for the founders, but perseverance, ideals and vision led to the establishment of Ein Hod as the only artist village in Israel - and among the few in the world - whose population is based on artists in all fields of art: from plastic art to music, literature and theater.

Evelin Calin (1925-2010) Black pen on paper, small ceramic relief in the shape of a drawing plate, dimensions 30X26 cm, signed and dated 08/1/1974
She was born to the Sigler family in Morni, Romania, in 1925. Died in Haifa, Israel, in 2010.
She lived with her family in Bucharest. From October 1940, following the antisemitic order banning Jews from attending public schools, she was forced to move to a Jewish school named after Berkowitz. It was during this period that her penchant for painting was discovered, and she studied in the art department of the school. Among her teachers of art was Prof. Max Herman Maxi, an avant-garde Romanian artist.
In the spring of 1944, the Sigler family absorbed a group of children who came to Bucharest as part of the return of orphaned children from ghettos in Transnistria, following a request from Jewish and international organizations. Of the 1,846 children released, some were sent to Israel, and the others were scattered among Jewish families and orphanages in various cities.
After the war Evelyn continued to study painting at the Bucharest Academy of Art. In 1972 she immigrated to Israel, with her husband and their two sons. Lived in Haifa.
