Samuel Finkelstein (1895–1942) was a Jewish oil painter in the interwar Poland who died at the Nazi death camp Treblinka during the Holocaust.

After World War I, he settled in Łódź, where he exhibited steadily and became active in the arts of the city.

He also traveled regularly to various art colony areas and the artists’ village of Kazimierz Dolny.

[3] He was included in “The World Evoked” exhibition of Jewish culture organized by the Nowy Sącz District Museum.

[4] Although he was affiliated in his own city with the Constructivist Avant Garde and was friendly with such artists as Władysław Strzemiński,[5] Kataryna Kobro and Karol Hiller, his paintings bore the impressionist traditional style in their motifs, colors and his brush-work.
