Felix Nussbaum

Felix Nussbaum (1904–1944) was a German-Jewish painter born in Osnabrück. He studied art in Hamburg and Berlin. His work is associated with the New Objectivity movement and also encompasses surrealist elements. After the Nazi rise to power, Nussbaum sought refuge in Belgium.

Nussbaum's paintings explore his experiences as a Jew during the Holocaust, offering a depiction of the individual's loneliness among the victims. Works such as Self Portrait with Jewish Identity Card (1943) and Triumph of Death (1944) exemplify his thematic focus. His artistic approach was influenced by Giorgio de Chirico, Henri Rousseau, and Vincent van Gogh.

Nussbaum was deported to Auschwitz from Belgium with his wife, Felka Platek, in 1944. He was assassinated in Auschwitz on August 9, 1944, only months before the liberation of Brussels by the British.
