Gino Parin

Federico Guglielmo Jehuda Pollack, known as Gino Parin (25 August 1876, in Trieste – 9 June 1944, in Bergen-Belsen) was an Italian painter of Jewish ancestry; known primarily for his portraits of women.

Their son, Edgar, emigrated to the United States and, together with his wife, Ingri, became a noted writer and illustrator of children's books.

When he returned to Trieste, he began painting portraits; producing a long series devoted to the families of Ernesto Lackenbacher, an executive with Riunione Adriatica di Sicurtà [it] (a Joint-stock company), and Moise Mario Tedeschi (1853–1919), an engineer.

Between the wars, he exhibited in Vienna (where he was a member of the Hagenbund) and Trieste, and had two showings at the Biennale di Venezia.

He also attended exhibitions overseas and was awarded another gold medal at the Internazionale Quadriennale of Turin in 1923.
