‘Born Benzion Elias Delman in Jerusalem, Palestine, this NDG artist studied at the Bazelel Academy of Arts and Design and then in Paris before immigrating to New York in 1915. As of 1918 he was a staff artist for the Jewish Daily News. Delman became a citizen in 1923, and eventually moved to Chicago in 1942. His works were featured in exhibits sponsored by the National Academy of Design (1932), the New York City WPA - “Market Scenes” at the USDA in 1941, along with NDG artists Fred Adler and Herman Copen - and by the Art Institute of Chicago (1947). Delman is a study in perseverance: during the late 1940s he was working in the notions department at Mandel Brothers’ department store in Chicago, and did most of his painting (and etching) at night.’ https://openvalley.org/items/show/1128
