Biography
He studied under J. Katzenbogen in Łódź. In 1908, he left for Paris, from where he often returned to Poland. In 1921, he participated in the Exhibition of Jewish Art in Łódź and in an exhibition of Jewish artists in Warsaw. That same year, he took part in a show of Polish art at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris. From 1939 onward, he lived in the United States. The artist is best known for his interwar work associated with the Post-Impressionist movement of the École de Paris. He painted landscapes and portraits.
