From Wikipedia: Born to a Jewish family in Kishinev, Bessarabia (in Imperial Russia), where his parents Gdal Shnayder and Bunya Moldovan were married in 1891. Sacha Moldovan immigrated to the United States, studied in Paris, and became unyieldingly devoted to his work. Moldovan is known to have worked with many other artists, including Henri Matisse and Chaim Soutine. The noted art critic Marla Berg once said of Moldovan, Had van Gogh painted Matisse's pictures while dreaming of Chagall, the result would have been the works of Sacha Moldovan. Alongside these artists, he was also influenced by Pierre Bonnard. The highest price ever paid for a Moldovan was $50,000 for an original sold by Hammer Galleries at a one-man show in Manhattan in 1991. Moldovan has one daughter, Wendy Moldovan, who today retains many of Sacha's works. Moldovan's great-nephew, Jonathan Herbert, is also a painter. He works in a studio in Brooklyn, NY.
