"Moshe Chauski deals with his social environment with critical eye, but at the same time with mitigating humour. He makes us see the lively peculiarities of different social groups. This gives his impressionistic paintings a warm glow and lends them a satirical content. That is why many of these paintings remind us of Honore Daumier's drawings. Chauski's works are colourful oil paintings pulsating with life. His works are universally accessible, which explains the success of his exhibitions in many countries and continents."
