Reder, Bernard, 1897-1963

A native of Czernowitz, Reder had his first solo exhibition of his sculptures in Prague, in 1934 or 1935, at the gallery of Manes, an association of artists in Prague; he mentions that Franz Werfel and Alma Mahler attended that exhibition. In 1937 he moved to France. After fleeing Paris in 1940, Reder went to Spain and then to Havana, Cuba, before finally emigrating to the U.S. in 1943.
