About the artist
Fred Uhlman was born in Germany, where he became a doctor of law. He practised there as a barrister before leaving for Paris in 1933 where he began to teach himself to paint. He moved to London in 1934 where his paintings were enthusiastically received and he began to show work regularly in galleries in Paris and London. He also drew on his experience of spending his summers in Wales. A retrospective of Uhlman’s work was held at Leighton House, London in 1968.
