A gem by a realitively unknown author

I actually picked up this book thinking it was authored by Chaim Potok. When I brought it home from the library, I very nearly did not read it due to my disappointment of it's authorship. However, after scanning the jacket of the book I decided to read at least the beginning. To make a long story short I ended up finishing the book the same day which I started it. It turned out to have a similar theme from one of Chaim Potok's books, namely a Jewish artist, who goes against his familiy's wishes and becomes a success in the world of art. I was very surprised at how the words just flew off the pages and led the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Now my biggest disappointment is that, apparently, this is but one of two works that the author ever wrote.
