Artur Markowicz (1872-1934) was a Jewish Realist painter and graphic artist born in Cracow, Poland. Between the years 1896 and 1903 he studied art in the cities of Munich, Berlin and Paris. He spent the years 1907-08 in Jerusalem. Markowicz’s Jewish scenes and character-studies display a strong originality with influences of Symbolism, along with elements of Expressionism.
