About Irene Lieblich
Irene Lieblich was a Polish-born artist and Holocaust survivor noted for illustrating the books of Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer and for her paintings highlighting Jewish life and culture. She is also a distant cousin of noted Yiddish language author and playwright Isaac Leib Peretz. Singer and Lieblich first met at the Artists Equity gallery on Broadway in 1973, where Lieblich's art was on display. She won first prize for painting at the Art Festival of the Farband in New York in 1972, only a year after she began to paint.
