Leon Abramowicz* (Chernivtsi 1889 – 1978 Vienna) Portrait of a woman oil on canvas 63 x 48.5 cm ESTIMATE € 500 – € 1,400 STARTING PRICE €500 Leon Abramowicz was a Jewish Austrian-Polish painter who, in art-historical terms, is counted amongst the so-called ‘Lost Generation’. His life was profoundly shaped by his expulsion under the Nazi regime and his subsequent return to Vienna. His works reveal stylistic influences from significant artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cézanne, Oskar Kokoschka and Anton Faistauer. Abramowicz often painted with a very broad, expressive brushstroke.
