Artist Biography
George Weissbort (1928-2013) was a Belgian-born painter whose family left for England in 1933. Raised in London's East End, Weissbort attended the Central School of Arts & Crafts, studying under Bernard Meninsky, and also received tuition from Ruskin Spear and Rodrigo Moynihan at the Royal College of Art. He was influenced by Arthur Segal to move from the Abstract Expressionism of the 1940s to realism. He went on to exhibit regularly at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Fine Art Society. In 1964, he had a large exhibition in Paris, and in 2006 he had a retrospective at the Chambers Gallery, London, followed in 2008 by another at the Denise Yapp Gallery, Monmouth. Weissbort's gift for observation shines through alongside his technical mastery of detail and form. Each composition forms a celebration of both life and art, literal but timeless.
