Jennings Tofel

1891–1959

The Polish-born painter Jennings Tofel (b. Idel Talflewicz) immigrated in 1905 to New York City, where he first began to study art. From 1925 to 1930, he lived mostly in Europe, studying and exhibiting. He returned permanently to New York in 1930. He contributed essays on art, language, and philosophy to the Yiddish- and English-language press. Jewish themes occupy a prominent place in his work.
