Arthur Segal (23 July 1875 — 23 June 1944)[1] was a Romanian artist and author.
Early life
Segal was born to Jewish parents in
Iaşi, Romania, and studied at the Berlin Academy from 1892. He studied with Schmid-Reutte and Hölzel in Munich in 1896, and later studied in Paris and Italy in the early 1900s.[2]
Career
After studying in Paris and Italy, he eventually moved to Berlin in 1904 where he exhibited his work with Die Brucke and Der Blaue Reiter, two leading German expression groups. In 1910 he co-founded the Neue Sezession, a group of artists whose work was rejected by the Berliner Sezession.
On the outbreak of war in 1914 he moved to
Zurich
. In 1920, he returned to Berlin, where he founded his own art school in 1923, Novembergruppe. He was offered a teaching
job at the
Majorca
and then London, where he set up another school with his daughter Marianne. He died in London.
Segal was firstly a painter, and his early work was heavily influenced by
dadaism
style, and around 1916 found his own modern style. As well as painting, he also produced woodcuts from 1910, many of which were anti-war themed. Segal was also the author of many books, articles, and often gave lectures.
His son was the architect Walter Segal.
