Vintage Paul Shimon NY Abstract Mixed Media Art, c. Late 20th Century
Born in New York, Paul Shimon (1919 - 2011) was both an accomplished artist and composer.
Considered by some to be an Early Outsider artist, Shimon studied at the Art Students League of New York and with W.A. Clark Prize recipient Jean Louis Liberte (1896 - 1965).
A pioneer of abstract Judaica, the influence of his studies with Jean Louis Liberte together with that of his sephardic heritage is often apparent in Shimon’s artwork. Shimon was listed amongst the Who Was Who in American Art, the reference book of cultural life in the United States.
