Abram Monoszon

1914 – 2007

Artist, painter. At first, the main themes of his works were still lifes and landscapes, and then the artist turned to the theme of plot-thematic paintings and genre painting, in which national Jewish motifs were vividly embodied. He painted religious and genre compositions, landscapes and still lifes. Stylistically and conceptually, the artist's works are close to expressionism.

The works of Abram Monoszon are presented in many private collections in Russia, Israel, France, the USA and other countries of the world. The corporate collection of OJSC Belgazprombank contains six works by the artist.

Lived and worked in Moscow.

The works of Abram Monoszon were no longer allowed to participate in exhibitions, and he himself was expelled from the Moscow Union of Artists.
