Margulies (1896-1984) was born in Vienna and as a child, immigrated to the United States. He studied at New York’s National Academy of Design, Cooper Union and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After years of travel abroad, he returned to New York in the mid-1920’s, painting the rabbis and Jewish scholars of his old neighborhood, “often focusing on the weary gazes and looks of pained meditation on their sage faces” (www. raisonne. org/site/biography/20).
