Frederick B. Serger (given name Frederick Bedrick Sinaberger) was born in 1889 to a family of Jewish manufacturers in the village of Ivancice near Brno Moravia, a province of Czechoslovakia. Showing artistic talent at a young age, he attended art schools in Brno, Vienna, and Munich. During World War I, Serger joined the Austrian Army and served in the Balkans. Once his service ended, he traveled to Paris where he resumed his art training and eagerly joined the Ecole de Paris (School of Paris) artists’ movement. During this period, he was greatly influenced by the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Expressionist movements.
While living in Paris, he met and married Helen Spitzer. Serger and his young wife moved from Paris to Scoczow, a city on the Polish-Czech border. They remained in Skoczow for 12 years and he continued to work as an artist, exhibiting in museums in Cracow and Warsaw. He also showed at the Paris Salon de Tuileries and the Salon d’Automne with exhibitions protesting the French Academy’s Salon system. A high point in Serger’s career was an exhibition at the famed Bernheim-Jeune in Paris. The Bernheim-Jeune was known for displaying the artwork of premier artists such as, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso and Paul Cezanne. Finally, in 1937, the City of Paris Museum purchased one of his paintings to be part of their collection.
During the onset of World War II, the Sergers moved several times, possibly in reaction to widespread Anti-Semitism during this period. They lived briefly in England, Panama, Guatemala, and Mexico. Finally, in 1941, they established permanent residence in Manhattan, New York. Serger set up a studio along 57th Street in Manhattan. Once again, he began painting prolifically and exhibiting his artwork in such prestigious galleries as Schoneman, Van Diemen-Lilienfeld and John Heller. His pieces were also displayed in major museums including the De Young Museum in San Francisco, the Museum of New Mexico in Santa Fe, the Springfield Art Museum and the Butler Institute of American Art in Ohio.
Frederick Serger was most famous for his flower studies and still life paintings. Red Tulips and A Flower are among his most recognized pieces. He is considered to be a Czech-American artist whose work has been displayed in myriad group exhibitions throughout the United States. Unfortunately, his name is not mentioned alongside other famous artists who exhibited in the Paris Salon de Tuileries. This is a large omission. A complete bibliography of the artist and his artwork is available: Frederick Serger, His Life and Work, by George Stiles. Serger died in 1965, but his artwork remains a testament to his incredible talent.
He studied art in Vienna, and in Munich with the Viennese Secessionists, served with the Austrian Army in World War One, went to Paris where he studied art and became part of the School of Paris (Ecole De Paris) movement, married Helen Spitzer, ( later Helen Serger owner of the Helen Serger, La Boetle Galleries in Manhattan) moved to Skoczow in Poland
until 1939, meanwhile exhibiting at many museums in Warsaw, Cracow, Salon de Tuileries and at the famous Salon d'Automne, both in Paris regularly. In
1936 he had a one-man show at Salon and at Bernheim Jeune in Paris at a gallery historically noted for exhibiting many of the most important modern
painters such as Picasso and Cezanne. In 1937 the Museum of the City of Paris purchased a Serger from the Salon d'Automne. In 1939 he moved to
England and from there to Panama, Guatemala, and Mexico. In 1941 he established a studio on 57th St. in Manhattan and commenced a long career of exhibiting in New York Galleries such as, Lillenfelt Galleries, John Heller, Schoneman, a one-man show at De Young Museum in San Francisco and at the Museum of New Mexico in Santa Fe, at the Springfield Art Museum, and at the Butler Institute of American Art in Ohio; Serger participated in group

Frederick B. Serger
Frederick B. Serger (1889-1965) was an influential Polish-born painter known for his contributions to modern art. Born in Lwów, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now Lviv, Ukraine), Serger pursued his artistic education in Vienna and Munich, where he developed a distinctive style that melded traditional techniques with modernist sensibilities. His work, characterized by its vivid color palette and dynamic compositions, often depicted scenes of rural life, landscapes, and portraits, reflecting his deep connection to his heritage and the changing times. In the 1920s and 1930s, Serger's art gained considerable recognition in Europe, and he exhibited extensively in major cities including Paris, Berlin, and Vienna. The advent of World War II forced him to flee Europe, and he eventually settled in the United States. In America, Serger continued to paint and exhibit, adapting to his new environment while maintaining the unique style that had defined his earlier works. Serger's legacy lies in his ability to bridge European and American art traditions, creating a body of work that remains significant in the study of 20th-century art. His paintings are held in various private and public collections, serving as a testament to his enduring influence and artistic vision.
