Claude Weisbuch was a pupil at L'École des Beaux-Arts in Nancy, France. He was an avid painter, engraver and an exceptional lithographer. The artist was known for his characteristic works of musicians, horses and characters, where he captured the dynamics of the characters with literary expressions. He was able to deliver the tensions and live actions with fluid strokes. The dynamic parts resemble repeated exposures of a camera; through this, the artist captures movement giving his work a unique touch. Weisbuch had been recognized as an significant French contemporary artist, his works were collected by major institutions and museums, including New York Modern Museum of Art, Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Academie Royale in Belgium.
