Artist Biography

Maurice Mancini Roith (1900-1958) was born in Brest-Litovsk, Russia, (now Belarus), but raised in London. He worked as a scene painter at Covent Garden Opera House while studying part-time at the Westminster School of Art under Walter Sickert and Bernard Meninsky, afterwards dividing his time between business and painting. A nude by Maurice Mancini Roith was exhibited at the Ben Uri 1946 exhibition ‘Paintings and Sculpture by Contemporary Jewish Artists’. In 1958 an exhibition of his work, organised by Ben Uri, was held aboard the Tattershall Castle on the River Thames in 1979. Some government records spell his first name as Morris. He died in Ditching, Sussex.
