History
Samuel Mirsky attended The Glasgow School of Art from 1909 to 1911 and from 1912 to 1916 as an evening student of life drawing. His occupation was listed variously as artist, photographic artist, and black and white artist. His registered addresses were Renfrew Street, Rose Street and South Portland Street. According to Ask Art, Mirsky was born in Odessa, Russia in 1883, and was predominantly a portrait painter. He later moved to New York City and studied at the Art Students League there. The 1911 census shows him and his family living in Islington, London. He was married to Annie (also called Genia), and his children were Kathrine (later became Kitty Brandfield) and Eda (later became Eda Mann) who both became prominent painters. Mirsky died in 1980.
