Georges Schreiber (1904- 1977) was born in Brussels, Belgium. After studying in Berlin, London, Rome, Paris, and Florence, from 1925 to 1928 he worked as a free-lance artist for German newspapers, a line of work he would continue upon his arrival in New York in 1928. He worked as a lithographer, painter, illustrator, watercolorist and teacher at the New School for Social Research. Schreiber was a regular contributor to several national magazines and an author and illustrator of several books. By 1936, he was employed with the Works Project Administration. During the Second World War, the United States Navy commissioned Schreiber to create paintings to use as posters. When fellow artists criticized him for this kind of work, Schreiber replied that “art for art’s sake” should be shelved for the duration of the war and voiced his approval of any medium which brought good art to great numbers of people. He was also a Colonel in the US Navy Department and produced a series of marine & submarine paintings.
