Joseph Oppenheimer
Joseph Oppenheimer, born in Wurzburg in 1876, died in 1966.
Joseph Oppenheimer painted mainly in Germany, England, the United States and Canada. He was particularly attracted to Henley Royal Regatta prior to the First World War with its elegantly attired spectators, a theme to which he returned over several years.
A fashionable portraitist (his sitters included Sir Harold Macmillan, Albert Einstein, Deborah Kerr and Yehudi Menuhin) he later moved to Montreal, spending his summers in Rockport, Massachusetts from where he recorded much of the Massachusetts coast.
