Felix Nussbaum was a German-Jewish surrealist painter known for his powerful artworks depicting the horrors of the Holocaust. His paintings, such as Self Portrait with Jewish Identity Card and Triumph of Death, reflect his experiences and struggles as a Jew during this dark period in history. Nussbaum's work is often associated with the New Objectivity movement and shows influence from artists like Giorgio de Chirico, Henri Rousseau, and Vincent van Gogh. Despite seeking refuge in Belgium, he tragically met his fate in Auschwitz alongside his wife just before liberation.
