Zvi Ehrman (Israeli, 1903-1993) was born in Lviv, Galicia to a traditional Jewish family. He attended a German-language elementary school. In 1914, the family fled to Vienna, where he went to high school. In 1920, he returned to Lviv to study Architecture and Interior Design at the Lviv Institute of Applied Arts. In 1927-32, Zvi studied art, graphics, and design at the Kraków Academy of Art. He was a board member of the Jewish Artists Association and a member of the Association of Polish Artists & Designers, participated in the first General Art Exhibition in Poland in 1934, and had a solo show in Katowice. After the 1941 occupation of Lviv by the Nazis, Ehrman got into the ghetto but fled in 1942 to the Soviet Caucasus, and worked as a set designer in a local theater. After the war, Ehrman returned to Poland and worked at Poznan Municipal Theater as a stage designer. In 1947, he sailed to the Land of Israel aboard the SS Theodor Herzl, but the ship was detained and Ehrman was sent to a D.P. camp in Cyprus. There, he worked as a teacher at an art school established by Zeev Ben-Zvi. In Israel, he was an architect for housing companies Amidar and Shikun u-Pituah. In 1966, Ehrman joined the Safed art colony.
