SIMON SEGAL: A CONTRIBUTION TO THE ARTIST’S BIOGRAPHY

Even though Simon Segal is one of the most interesting artists of the École de Paris circle, his biography remains insufficiently researched. Nothing is known about the ups and downs of the artist’s life in Berlin, the time when he first got interested in painting, the period of his residence in Vienna nor his first individual exhibition he supposedly organized there. Also the reasons for change of his artistic interests remain unknown. Towards the end of his life, the painter wrote down his autobiography containing most of his biographical data. This article is an attempt to reconstruct key events in the life of Simon Segal as well as transformations in his artistic creativity.
