Felix Nussbaum
Felix Nussbaum was a GermanJewish surrealist painter. Nussbaums artwork gives a rare glimpse into the essence of one individual among the victims of the Holocaust.
Nussbaum was born in Osnabrck, Germany, as the son of Rahel and Philipp Nussbaum. Philipp was a World War I veteran and German patriot before the rise of the Nazis. He was an amateur painter when he was younger, but was forced to pursue other means of work for financial reasons. He therefore encouraged his sons artwork passionately.
