Biography of the Artist:

Siegmund Forst, illustrator was born 1904 in Vienna, Austria. Forst began his artistic career in commercial package design and advertising along with Ketubbot, bookplates, B'nai Brith honor scrolls and private commissions which he illuminated with self-made ink and gold lettering. After immigrating to America in 1939, Forst gravitated to the Jewish publishing world where he illustrated Jewish texts and American-Jewish children's books. Forst's art became a powerful cultural transmitter of Jewish values intertwined with modern ideals and had a strong influence on the Jewish visual arts of his time.
