David Garfinkiel
(Radom 1902 - 1970 )
David Garfinkiel was born in Radom, Poland, in a family of artists and
was the youngest of his nine siblings. Interested in painting from an early age, he enrolled in the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw and later in Krakow. In 1932, he arrived in Paris and acquired his French nationality. He attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumiere and the Académie Julian. Although his first paintings were reminiscent of Cubism, his later work showed a preoccupation with realistic figuration. The art critic Waldemar George described him as "quiet visionary." Garfinkiel was also a photographer; in 1934 he worked for Studio Harcourt photographic studio.
