Uriel Abraham: Graphic Design
After receiving his Baccalaureate in 1938, Uriel enrolled in l'Ecole Paul Colin in Paris where he studied graphic design. In parallel, he studied photography with Josef Breitenbach.
The outbreak of WWII interrupted his studies. Fleeing France and the invading German armies, he found refuge in Casablanca, was interned in a labor camp from which he escaped, then hid until the arrival of the US army. In December 1942, a month or so after the American landing in Casablanca, he started working in a photo studio and as a graphic designer. Two years later, in late 1944, he arrived in British Mandate Palestine, where he worked as an interior designer. After moving back to Paris in 1950, he started his graphic design career.
Here are a few examples of his work.
