Segal, Arthur (1875-1944) - 1911 Still Life with Flowers (Cristie's London, 2000) Oil on board; 104.8 x 71 cm. Arthur Segal was a Romanian artist and author. Segal was born to Jewish parents in Iasi, Romania, and studied at the Berlin Academy from 1892. He studied with Schmid-Reutte and Holzel in Munich in 1896, and later studied in Paris and Italy in the early 1900s. After studying in Paris and Italy, he eventually moved to Berlin in 1904 where he exhibited his work with Die Brucke and Der Blaue Reiter, two leading German expression groups. In 1910 he co-founded the Neue Sezession, a group of artists whose work was rejected by the Berliner Sezession. On the outbreak of war in 1914 he moved to Ascona, Switzerland with his family, and remained there until 1920. During the war, Switzerland became a refuge for many artists like Segal, and whilst he was there he exhibited some of his work with Arp and Dada in the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. In 1920, he returned to Berlin, where he founded his own art school in 1923, Novembergruppe. In 1925 he was offered a teaching job in New Bauhaus in Dessau, but he declined. Because of his Jewish background he was prevented from exhibiting his work in Germany, and so in 1933 he moved to Palma, Majorca and then London, where he set up another school with his daughter Marianne. He died in London. Segal was firstly a painter, and his early work was heavily influenced by impressionism and neo-impressionism. From around 1910 he began a more expressionism and dadaism style, and around 1916 found his own modern style. As well as painting, he also produced woodcuts from 1910, many of which were anti-war themed. Segal was also the author of many books, articles, and often gave lectures. His son was the architect Walter Segal. ground zero (or) mortification ground zero / mortification, mixed media painting on a previously-used (by another artist) canvas. created in 2002. 60"w x 48"h. This painting commemorates the falling of the twin towers on September 2001. Upon visiting ground zero a few months after the disaster, I was very moved by the energy of the area, using US flags that I painted on and later assembled in this painting, which was painted on a previously used canvas that I purchased from another artist, who had abandonned painting and sold me all her old used canvases. You can also see a contact sheet of photos taken by my husband of our visit, showing lots of scenes of the area including lots of commemorative notes and art and flowers. Also included is a photo of the Twin Towers, taken the last time I saw them in person, only a few months before they fell. They were in a fog and we could only see the bottom half of the towers... very eery. *Exhibited at Salon d’automne International des Beaux-arts de Montreal, World Beat Center, 3rd edition 2002, group show.
