Josef Ofer is an Israeli artist, born in 1965.
There is some resemblance between Goya's work and that of Josef Ofer: "Society, men, I do not like."

Josef Ofer started his artistic career as one of the youngest students at the School of Fine Arts of Paris. He started school at the he age of 17, he disappeared for a while afterwards.
Settled in a small village of 80 people on the banks of Rio Negro in the Amazons, Bacabal, his drawings were already being created in his head.
His "Mines de Plomb" evoke the illustrious art of his ancestors: Daumier for his scathing social criticism, Goya for the facial expressions of his personages, Piranèse for his wild architecture, Félicien Rops for his provocative nude females.
