- Biography
-
Ossip Lubitch was born in Grodno, Russia (Hrodna, Belarus) in 1896. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Odessa from 1915-1919. He moved to Berlin, Germany, in 1920 and joined a group of Russian artists, including Pavel Tchelitchew and Lazare Meerson, designing film and stage sets. In 1923, he obtained a contract to decorate a cabaret in the Montmartre district of Paris. He set up a studio in Montparnasse and immersed himself in the study of the masters, such as Rembrandt, Goya, and Degas, and focused on the art of drawing. Ossip became known as a member of the School of Paris. In 1925, he was accepted into the Salon des Tuileries by Antoine Bourdelle. Cirque, an album of ten aquatints and etchings was published with a prefatory poem by Georges Roualt.
In May 1940, France was invaded by Nazi Germany. France capitulated in June and the northern region, including Paris, was under German occupation. Jews were ordered to register with the German authorities, but Ossip did not comply. In July 1944, he was denounced by his neighbors because they wanted the studio space. They did not report him as a Jew, but as a friend of Jews. He was arrested and held all day in a jail where he could hear other prisoners being tortured as their interrogators sang a nursery rhyme: Il court, il court, le petit furet (He run, he runs, the ferret.) He told the police that he was a Jew and was sent to Drancy internment camp. He had stuffed some paper and a pencil in his pant pockets before he was taken from his studio and he began sketching the daily life of internees at the camp. He worked digging ditches during the day and sketched at night in the barracks.
Ossip walked out of Drancy in mid-August 1944 when the German soldiers guarding the camp fled due to the approach of Allied Forces. Ossip returned to his studio in Paris which the concierge had prevented anyone from entering. Paris was liberated on August 25. Not long after that, he married a young painter named Suzanne Bouldoire, born 1926. They had a daughter in 1950. Ossip, 94, died in 1990.
