Jack Bilbo (born Hugo Cyril Kulp Baruch, April 13, 1907 – 1967) was a German writer, art gallery owner, and self-taught painter. ==Life== Bilbo was born in Berlin, Germany in 1907. His parents owned a theatrical supply company. After the Nazis came to power he fled to France, Spain, and finally to England. In 1941, Bilbo opened ''The Modern Art Gallery'' in London, exhibiting the work of Kurt Schwitters, Pablo Picasso, and his own paintings and drawings, as well as the work of many unknown artists. Bilbo moved to Weybridge, England after the war ended and created large figurative sculptures in cement in his home's garden. They were entitled, ''Life'', ''Devotion'', and ''Sanctuary'', and were destroyed when he left England in the early 1950s, moving to France with his wife Owo.〔 In 1948, he published ''Jack Bilbo: an Autobiography''. The book is subtitled "The first forty years of the complete and intimate life-story of an Artist, Author, Sculptor, Art Dealer, Philosopher, Psychologist, Traveller and a Modernist Fighter for Humanity". In the same year he also closed the gallery. He eventually returned to Berlin where he died in 1967. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jack Bilbo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
