content: Grigory Gluckmann (1898-1973) was a painter in Paris, France and Los Angeles, California.  


Gluckmann was born in Vitebsk, Russia, and studied for three years at the Art Academy in Moscow.  Because of the Revolution he left Russia for Berlin in 1920 and in 1924 moved to Paris.  While in Berlin he changed his name from Glickman to Gluckmann.  He had his first one man show in 1924 at the Galerie Druet and regularly exhibited his paintings throughout Europe.  In 1937 he had his first one man show in the United States at the John Levy Galleries.  After the occupation of Paris by the Germans he fled to Nice, France, and married Anna Sorochovitsch.  They immigrated to New York in 1941 and moved to California in 1945.  Gluckmann regularly exhibited his work at the Dalzell Hatfield Galleries in Los Angeles and Milch Galleries in New York.  During his career he also illustrated several books.  He became a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in London in 1948 and the Benjamin Franklin Society in 1968 and continued to paint until his death in 1973.
