NOTES Born in Romania in 1875, Arthur Segal travelled to Berlin in 1892 to take up study at the Berlin Academy. Over the following decade of study, Segal travelled to Munich, Paris and Italy, finally settling in Berlin in 1904, where he began to exhibit with the Berliner Secession. However, in 1910 Segal resigned from the Berliner Secession in order to join the more radical Neue Secession whose first president was Max Pechstein, a founding member of the Br쳌cke. The expressionist impulse in Segal's work, partly under the influence of the Futurists, gradually gave way to a more geometric style which, in the present work, is also allied to a prismatic weft of colour characteristic of his output around 1925.
