Samson Schames (1898-1967) - "Nude", reclining female nude - signed bottom left, inscribed with title and artist's address on an old label on the reverse, oil on board, 27.5 x 41.5cm. * "(Siegfried) Samson Schames (1898-1967 New York). Frankfurt born painter and nephew of the art dealer Lugwig Schames. Worked as a painter and stage designer and after 1933 in various Jewish cultural organisations. In 1939 Schames flew to England and during the war was active as a Civil Defence Artist. In 1948 he moved to New York. There was a comprehensive exhibition at the Frankfurt museum in 1989. He was also one of four artists who exhibited at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool under the title of "Art Behind Barbed Wire".
In the years between 1933 to 1941 close to half a million Jews left Germany to seek refuge abroad, approximately 130 000 of them in the U.S. What made this exodus remarkable was not only the exceptional professional educational skills these refugees brought with them but also the large number of artists and intellectuals among them. Those artists lucky enough to get out of Germany in time included such prominent names as the photographer Lotte Jacobi, the sculptor Benno Elkan, and the painter Ludwig Meidner. Many of the artists who had already established international reputations were rescued by Varian Fry, an American estimated to have saved more than 1300 artists and intellectuals. Their plight and often spectacular escape is generally well documented, but what became of those artists who were not internationally known What about those painters, sculptors and illustrators like Eugen Spiro, Suzanne-Carvallo-Schülein and Julius Wolfgang Schülein, Peter Lipman-Wulf, Arno Nadel, Samson Schames, Anne Ratkowski and her teacher and mentor Arthur Segal
