Abstract or Introduction
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.
