Ernst Neumann (1907-1956) CPE

Ernst Neumann was born in 1907 in Budapest, Hungary. After immigrating to Montreal in 1912, Neumann found work as an apprentice in a lithographer’s shop, which influenced his interest in printmaking. He later worked as a lithographer himself, sharing a studio with Goodridge Roberts, and together they gave art classes as the Roberts-Neumann School of Art. He died in 1956 in Venice, Italy.
