They were the Jewish Artists of the School of Paris. They were called Aberdam, Indenbaum, Kikoïne, Krémègne, Marevna, Volovick…. Throughout his rich and short life, my father, Jacques Nieszawer, collected their works .These paintings, intimately linked to his history, were familiar to him. When he was coming back home with one of them, he was searching in the ‘Aronson’ and the ‘Fenster’,1 two books written in Yiddish, to identify the artists. When he died, his Yid paintings disappeared. Naturally, I continued to be interested in these painting and I undertook the project to write the dictionary of the Jewish Artists of the School of Paris. From 1988, Paul Fogel, passionate about Yiddish, was an essential guide in the understanding of these books. Also, I had to conduct my own investigation. I met the artists’ families (the daughters, the sons, the last wife ...) always asking for a phone or an address and to see their paintings. In 2000, when the first edition of the dictionary2 was published, I was appointed the expert of these artists by the Union Française des Experts en art (U.F.E.). The transmission of knowledge Thanks to Deborah, Boris and Arthur Princ, my stepdaughter and my sons, I realized what my father would have dreamed of. They have embarked on the adventure of “The School of Paris” and with their assistance we published the second3 dictionary in 2015 and in 2020, the third edition4. After the fall of the Berlin wall, Eastern Europe was waking up and so was the art market.
