Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Art - Visual artists, , language: English, abstract: The artist Sali Herman was born in Switzerland in 1898 and studied at the Zurich Technical School. His first exhibition (of watercolours) was in 1918. In 1920 he won a Carnegie Fund grant for a portrait of his sister. After travelling in West Africa, South America and Europe, and having been twice married – he separated from his first wife in 1926 – he emigrated to Australia in 1937 to escape what was becoming a Nazi-dominated Europe. After further studies at the George Bell Studio in Melbourne he rapidly became established as one of Australia’s most well-known and admired artists.
