‎Jacob Steinhardt. Jerusalem. In the old city, 1930s. Paper, woodcut. Size: 44.5x34 cm (34x26 cm). Jacob Steinhardt (18871968) was a German-born Israeli painter and woodcut artist. Jacob Steinhardt was born in Zerkow, German Empire (now Poland). He attended the School of Art in Berlin in 1906, then studied painting with Lovis Corinth and engraving with Hermann Struck in 1907. From 1908 to 1910 he lived in Paris, where he associated with Henri Matisse and Theophile Steinlen, and in 1911 he was in Italy. When World War I broke out, he enlisted in the German Army, and served on the Eastern Front in Poland and Lithuania, and then in Macedonia. After the war, he returned to Berlin, and in 1922 married Minni Gumpert. They immigrated to Palestine in 1933, after he was harassed by the German police, dominated by the Nazis who recently came to power. Jacob Steinhardt worked mainly in woodcuts depicting biblical and Jewish subjects. He participated in the Berlin Secession and founded the Pathetiker Group. He was a member of the Bezalel school group. The Jewish Museum Berlin houses the largest Steinhardt collection in the world, including numerous graphic artworks and unpublished documents donated by Josefa Bar-On Steinhardt, the artist's daughter. The museum owns paintings, several hundred print graphics, and a collection of books illustrated by the artist. It is also possible to discover some of his work at the Jewish Museum Frankfurt and the at the Jewish Museum of Switzerland in Basel., SKUKAZ000013 kaz_gr‎
