summary
Nathan Wasserberger was born in Chrzanow, Poland in 1928. A survivor of Buchenwald he went on to study at the Academy Julien in Paris and the Art Students League in New York. Although his paintings can at times appear brooding (a reflection no doubt of the atrocities he experienced as a young man), his portraits also convey an introspective expression of the joy of life and a celebration of its’ beauty.
34 x 38 inches.
