Zygmunt Landau. Beautiful expressionistic portrait of a woman. Oil on board.
LODZ (POLAND) 1898 – TEL AVIV 1962
Zygmunt Landau studied with painter Henri Epstein at the drawing school of Jakub Kacenbogen in Lodz. He later attended Stanislas Lentz's studio at the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw. When he was eighteen years old, he learned to paint. He arrived in Paris in 1920 and settled in La Ruche. He studied at the Grande Chaumiere and Colarossi academies and befriended Kisling. He admired Cézanne and spent time in museums. In 1928 he returned to Poland to show his paintings in Warsaw and in Lodz. His work also gained recognition in England and in the United States thanks to the English critic and painter Roger Fry, who shared an apartment with him in Saint-Tropez. He illustrated Edmond Flegs Écoute Israel (Listen Israel), which was published by La Cigogne before World War II. In September 1939 he took refuge in Saint-Tropez. After the war, Zygmunt Landau divided his time between Saint-Tropez, Nice and Paris where he regularly exhibited his work. He also spent time in London and Stockholm. In the late 1950s he settled in Israel where he continued to paint. In 1962 he produced stained glass windows for the small YMCA chapel in Tiberias, Israel.
