He studied in the art schools of Brno and Vienna and later found teachers in Munich. The First World War interrupted his education, he became an officer of the Austrian army and served in the Balkans. After the war Serger went to Paris, where he continued his art studies and soon joined the Paris movement "Ecole de Paris", School of Paris. In 1927 he married the Polish woman of Jewish origin, Helen Spitzer (later Helen Serger, owner of the "La Boetie Galleries" in Manhattan, New York). He then moved with Helen to Scoczow on the Polish-Czech border and stayed there until 1939 exhibiting regularly at many museums in Warsaw, Cracow, in Paris Salon de Tuilleries and the famous Salon d’Automne. In 1936 Serger had a one-man show at Salon and at "Bernheim-Jeune" in Paris, a gallery historically noted for exhibiting many of the most significant modern painters, such as Picasso and Cezanne. In 1937 the Museum of the City of Paris purchased a work by Serger from the Salon d’Automme. After the beginning of the Second World War the Sergers moved to England and from there to Panama, Guatemala and Mexico. In 1941 he established a studio on the 57th St. in Manhattan and started with his long career of exhibiting in New York galleries, such as Lillenfelt Galleries, John Heller, Schoneman, a one-man show at the 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. He also participated in countless group shows in many American cities during the 25 years he lived and worked in New York. He also had a summer residence from 1947 in Woodstock, N.Y.

Abstract Still Life Oil Painting with Ink Theresa Bernstein Flowers in Vase
By Theresa Bernstein
Located in Surfside, FL
Theresa Bernstein, 1890 - 2002 Abstract Still Life Oil and Pen on Paper Painting (1994) by Theresa Bernstein Frame: 26" X 22", Image: 18.5" X 14.75" A Polish born American modernist figurative artist in the traditions of the Ashcan and New York Realism Schools, wife of William Meyerowitz. The artwork represents a still life with two flower vases. Signed by the artist and dated 1994 in the lower left. Theresa Ferber Bernstein-Meyerowitz (1890 – 2002) was an American artist, writer, and supercentenarian born in Kraków, in what is now Poland, and raised in Philadelphia. She received her art training in Philadelphia and New York City. Over the course of nearly a century, she produced hundreds of paintings and other artwork, plus several books and journals. Bernstein and her husband William Meyerowitz (a WPA, New deal artist), who was also an artist, lived and worked in Manhattan and Gloucester, Massachusetts. She painted portraits and scenes of daily life, plus reflections of the major issues of her time, in a modern style that evolved from realism to expressionism. She was active in several art associations and promoted her husband's work as well as her own. Her artworks are found in dozens of museums and private collections in the United States and abroad. She remained active all her life and was honored with a solo exhibition of 110 art works to celebrate her 110th birthday. Bernstein also authored several books, including a biography of her husband and a journal about their many trips to Israel. She died in 2002, just a couple of weeks short of her 112th birthday. Theresa Ferber Bernstein was born in Cracow, Poland, on March 1, 1890. She was the only child of Isidore Bernstein, a Jewish textile...
