Meyer Ryshpan (1899–1985) was a Canadian painter and etcher in Montreal.
Biography and career[edit]
Born in Poland, Rhyspan emigrated to the United States in 1906 and worked on his father's farm for eight years until 1922. He moved to Canada in 1933 and became a painter of genre scenes in Montreal. He was also known for his etchings, some of which were done in colour.[1]
Between 1934 and 1947, Ryshpan exhibited twenty-one works at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts annual spring exhibitions.[2] In 1946, Ryshpan exhibited several paintings in an exhibition organized by the Young Women's Hebrew Association, including a landscape of Piedmont in Italy.[3] In 1955, he was part of a group exhibition at the Eaton's store in Montreal.[4] Ryshpan had a 1958 retrospective at the Jewish Public Library in Montreal, consisting of eighty oil paintings, watercolours, drawings, and etchings. Robert Ayre of the Montreal Star considered his drawings and watercolours to be superior to his oils, and that Ryshpan was at his best depicting people.[5]
Personal life[edit]
His wife Daisy Shlefstein was also a painter.[2]
