About EX Joseph Scharl (1896-1954) German-born American expressionist painter and graphic artist. Labelled a ‘degenerate’ artist by the Nazi Party, Scharl found it impossible to work in Germany and his immigration to the United States in 1939 was sponsored by Einstein. Scharl was not only supported financially by Albert Einstein, whom he had first met in Berlin in the 1920s, but also in the realisation of various exhibition projects. Scharl often visited Einstein, whom he painted several times, in Princeton and the two engaged in friendly correspondence from 1941 onwards. The years 1944-46, when the present portrait was created, marked the peak of Scharl’s fame in America. When Scharl passed away in 1954, a few months before his friend’s own death, Einstein gave the eulogy at the artist’s funeral.
