Victor Candell was a Hungarian born New York modernist painter. Candell spent three years (1928-1930) studying in Paris where he joined a group of artists known as Les Surindependents and began exhibiting his own works. Upon his return to New York his first exhibit was at the Brandt Gallery in 1940; he remained with them until the gallery closed when he moved to Grand Central Moderns for many years. His first teaching experience was in the 1940s at the Navy Hospital in Brooklyn and later, at the Brooklyn Museum School of Art, the Cooper Union, and the Columbia School of Painting in NYC. He exhibited his works at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the Carnegie Institute. In 1958 Candell and Leo Manso started the Provincetown Workshop, a small art school modeled after the Cooper Union that remained in operation for more than twenty years.
