Richard Weisbrod
Born in 1906.
Died in 1991.
Richard Weisbrod was an artist whose professional career included training in painting and studies in textiles. Before 1942, he directed a silk factory in Blackburn, an experience that presumably influenced his artistic approach. After this period, he devoted himself fully to his artistic practice, although details of his work remain partly obscure.
His work seems to occupy a continuum between textile art and painting, testifying to a versatility in his creative expression.
