About the artist:
Although Israel Abramofsky was born in Russia and died in the United States he can be classified as both a French and American artist. Abramofsky studied art in Paris, under both Jean Paul Laurens and Joseph Berges, and opened a successful studio there on the Quai de la Rapee. During the 1920's and 1930's he produced many fine paintings, watercolors, monoprints and etchings from his Paris studio. At the same time he was a regular visitor to the United States. Abramosky lived and worked in Washington.in 1919 and in Toledo, Ohio, in 1929. When the Germans invaded France in 1939 Abramofsky made America his permanent home.
Primarily a landscape artist, Abramofsky was widely recognized throughout France. As early as 1923 he regularly exhibited with the Salon d'Automne, and was later a frequent exhibitor with both the Salon des Artistes Francais and with the prestigious Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts. Today, examples of his art will be found in such widespread locations as the Toledo Museum of Art, the Luxembourg Galleries, Paris, Jaffe, Jerusalem, the Butler Museum of American Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Chicago Institute of Art.
