He was known for figure, abstract painting, collage, and cartoon illustration. In the 1920's and 30's, he lived in NYC and attended The Art Students League where he was creative with a number of artistic styles of the period. During WWII, he worked as a cartoonist for a government issued newspaper called 10-SHUN that was published in Greensboro, NC. Bernard worked under the pen name Seeg, and was the author of the comic strip "Hank and Honey," that appeared in the New York Herald Tribune from the 1940's through the 50's. This cartoon was syndicated and published in Quebec under the title "Louise et Louis." The strip was later retitled to Ellsworth. Segal also illustrated a number of Jewish books that were published by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, and Bible stories. In the 1950's Segal moved to Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and became a member of the New Hope Modernists. He worked with esteemed artists such as George Nakashima, Charles Evans, Louis Stone, Lloyd ney, josef Zenk, Clarence Carter and Charles Ramsey. Segal's most noted work was made during the 1960's, during which time he produced paintings and collages in the abstract expressionist style. He enjoyed painting bright abstract oil, gouache, watercolors, and his subjects ranged from pure abstractions and cubist figurative works, to people shopping and watching television as well as to urban and rural landscapes. He also was known to create abstract mixed media collages from strips of paper and magazine clippings. Segal taught art at Rutgers University - Camden, New Jersey. See less
