Michel Fingesten

Michel Fingesten, a Czech-Austrian artist of Jewish origin, was an important graphic artist and designer of 20th century bookplates. In the world of bookplates he is often compared to Picasso, and he embarked on a varied artistic career.

Fingesten studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, travelled the world and refined his craft in Munich. In 1913 he settled in Berlin and devoted himself to etching. In his private life he married and became a father, while his art flourished with contributions to silent films and over 500 bookplates. Fleeing Nazi persecution, he settled in Italy in 1935, but was interned there. After liberation, he returned to painting and died in Cerisano, Calabria in 1943.
