Artists of Jewish Central Poland

As part of our discovery of the culture of Jewish Central Poland, we are honouring the artists whom have come before us, those who are with us now, and those who become our future talented artists. This is a thorough compilation of artists, sculptors, architects, musicians, sculptors, architects, cantors, actors, singers —illustrating the wonderful artistic achievements of the descendants of Jewish Central Poland.

The idea of compiling this list began when Leon Zamosc identified 3 artists in the Kolo Yizkor Book.

“The ‎Koło Yizkor book can be downloaded from: https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/collections/yizkor-books/yzk-nybc313821/halter-mordekhai-sefer-kolo-finfhundert-yor-yidish-kolo.  The book contains references to three artists— painters from Koło. There are a few images of their works. I looked them up online.”.  Leon Zamosc, 2020.

Leon was obviously on the right frequency because simultaneously, an auction was being offered with a looming deadline for the purchase of a painting of Harry Daniels (Danielowicz of Kolo). Leon is now the proud owner of this painting.
