Arthur Segal

Arthur Segal (23 July 1875 — 23 June 1944) [cite web |url=http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/dada/dadas/segal.htm |title=Segal - The International Dada Archive - The University of Iowa |accessdate=2007-11-21 ] was a Romanian artist and author.

Early life

Segal was born to Jewish parents in Iaşi, Romania. He studied at the Berlin Academy from 1892. He then moved on to Munich in 1896, and became a pupil of Schmid-Reutte, and later Hoelzel. He also studied in Paris and Italy from 1902 to 1903. [cite web |url=http://www.arttribes.com/moreartists.asp?ArtistID=159 |title=Arthur Segal |accessdate=2007-11-21 ]

Career

After studying in Paris and Italy, he eventually moved to Berlin in 1904 where he exhibited his work with Die Brucke and Der Blaue Reiter, two leading German expression groups. In 1910 he co-founded the "Neue Sezession", a group of artists whose work was rejected by the "Berliner Sezession".

On the outbreak of war in 1914 he moved to Ascona, Switzerland with his family, and remained there until 1920. During the war, Switzerland became a refuge for many artists like Segal, and whilst he was there he exhibited some of his work with Arp and Dada in the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. In 1920, he returned to Berlin, where he founded his own art school in 1923, "Novembergruppe". In 1925 he was offered a teaching job in New Bauhaus in Dessau, but he declined. Because of his Jewish background he was prevented from exhibiting his work in Germany [ [http://www.mcleanbooks.com/content/browse.php?view=artist&abc=S&id=2754 McLean Arts & Books - Browsing Artists ] ] , and so in 1933 he moved to Palma, Majorca and then London, where he set up another school. He died in London.

Segal was firstly a painter, and his early work was heavily influenced by impressionism and neo-impressionism. From around 1910 he began a more expressionism and dadaism style, and around 1916 found his own modern style. As well as painting, he also produced woodcuts from 1910, many of which were anti-war themed. Segal was also the author of many books, articles, and often gave lectures.

He was also interested in psychology and psychotherapy and conducted correspondence with many famous psychoanalysts and psychiatrists of the time. His research was focused on the effects of painting in order to cure mental illnesses, and his attempts were acknowledged among psychologists and psychoanalysts alike.
