Friday, April 25, 1980 29 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Terror Victim's Work on Display NEW YORK — "Spoon- bills," "View from Mount Nebo," and "Hula Waterscape" are among the 33 color photographs made by naturalist Gail Rubin, which will be one exhibit at the Yeshiva University Museum through June 15. Ms. Rubin's work, which was tragically halted on March 11, 1978 when she was shot down by terrorists while working in Israel, re- presents a peaceful spirit, involved in the process of artistic growth. The prints which include her earlier representational renderings of birds and other natural subjects, as well as the abstractions with which she had begun to experiment, reveal a deep sensitivity to color, form, and structure.
