Isidor Ascheim

Isidor Ascheim (Hebrew: איזידור אשהיים; 1891–1968) was a German-born Israeli painter and printmaker.

He was raised in an Orthodox Jewish family and served during World War I.

In 1919–23, Ascheim studied under the German Expressionist Otto Mueller in Breslau[1] and was influenced by Erich Heckel of the Die Brücke (The Bridge) group.

Ascheim's art is based on a direct impression of nature, life and the human form.

His oeuvre represents a continuous connection with nature and the human figure, usually executed with a dark palette, the legacy of his German Expressionist roots.
