ALBERT HANDELL
Albert Handell was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1937. At an early age, a favorite activity of his was drawing with chalk on the city streets. He began formal studies of drawing and anatomy at the age of sixteen.
In 1954, he enrolled at the Art Students League of New York City to study drawing and anatomy with the late Louis Priscilla and the later Robert Ward Johnson, and later studied painting for two years with Frank Mason.
From 1961 to 1965, Mr. Handell lived and traveled in Europe. In Paris, he painted independently in his own studio, working from the model at L'Ecole de la Grande Chaumiere and at the Louvre, copying the old masters.
Since 1961, he has had over thirty one-man shows and has received over seventy prizes and awards. Mr. Handell has received grants from the John F. and Anna Lee Stacy Foundation and from the Elizabeth T. Greenshields Foundation in Montreal, Canada. His paintings are in numerous private and public collections and museums.
