Born in Slonim, Poland, Uryson studied art in Paris and was active in Lodz, Warsaw and Vilna. In the summer of 1941, while visiting his sick mother in Białystok, he was deported to the ghetto. He worked in Oskar Steffen’s workshop, where he was forced to copy paintings of well-known painters. Uryson was murdered in the ghetto in August 1943.
