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 1940's 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.
