Felix Nussbaum
1904 - 1944

A boat with a folded sail floats near the shore of a town in which can be seen houses and a church, surrounded by cypress trees. In the distance are mountains. Nussbaum painted this picture of Rapallo in 1934, while visiting Italy with his companion and future wife, Felka Platek.  Nussbaum spent time in the seaside resort with his parents, who were thinking of settling in Switzerland. This was the last summer that Nussbaum would spend with his parents, who returned to Germany and were eventually deported and murdered in Auschwitz.

In memory of Marcus, David, and Mania Knoblauch; Mordechaie and Ethel Wassing, David  Ignace, and Irena Wassing, and the children.
