Efraim Seidenbeutel and Menasze Seidenbeutel (twins) born on December 7- and killed in 1945 at the Flossenbürg death camp. Two of four important Polish Jewish artists from one family. The third was Józef, the oldest (a painter), and Hirsz the youngest (a sculptor).
The Twins are considered "Interwar Artists" and had reached a similar stage of development. The Twins had most widely painted in the Post Expressionist style of Ecole de Paris. They executed mostly landscapes and still life scenes. The unique aspect about the twins was that either one could start a painting while the other would and finish it and sign it jointly.
...Even the works created separately have an almost identical style. Monika Żeromska remembers that they used to take turns to attend classes being enrolled as a one student and paying a fee only for one student.
One aspect of their work is their unique bond that seems to show that they were telepathically linked, and which can be understood in their paintings which intrigues experts to the present day. One would start a painting while the other completed it and the signature was their surname. They even kept this practice when painting and completing a painting individually. undefined
