Arthur Segal

Arthur Aron Segal, born July 13, 1875 in Jassy, Romania and died June 23, 1944 in London, was an artistic phenomenon of the early 20th century. This Romanian painter left behind an impressive artistic landscape that is still viewed and admired today in the form of art prints. The scion of a Jewish banker, his story began in Botoșani before moving to Berlin in 1892 to study at Eugen Felix Prosper Bracht . Here he became part of Berlin's vibrant artistic circle and married his cousin Ernestine in 1904. Together they became involved in the local art scene and formed the Neue Secession - a reaction to the Berlin Secession. Their works were presented in various exhibitions before they withdrew in 1912 due to internal disagreements. During this time, Segal also traveled to Paris to expand his artistic vision.
