Gift of Lydie Lachenal, Paris
Born in Przeworsk, Austria-Hungary, Weissberg studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. Penniless, he moved to Paris in 1923, and was part of the Montparnasse Circle. With the German occupation, he fled to the south of France, where his daughter was attending a boarding school. He lived in a small village in the Aveyron region, where he continued to paint. In March 1943, Weissberg was arrested by French gendarmes and deported to Majdanek, where he was murdered.
