Schreiber was a well-known American scene painter at the height of his career in the 1930’s and 40’s. Born in Brussels, Belgium in 1904, Schreiber’s earliest art instruction was the German Real Gymnasium in Brussels (1913-1918). In 1928, when he came to the United States, Schreiber contributed his drawings and cartoons to most of New York’s daily papers to give himself financial support before finding an art dealer to represent him.

From 1936 to 1939, Georges Schreiber toured the US painting and sketching life from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and from Maine to Oregon. The paintings captured the characteristics of Americans in every state. Schreiber became a regular exhibitor at the annual and biennial exhibitions at the Whitney Museum, MoMA and the Met.

From 1941 to 1945, Schreiber was commissioned by the US Navy and Army to do a series of works. One project in 1943 was a joint effort with his friend Thomas Hart Benton to capture life aboard a submarine. Schreiber also painted the War Bond posters “Keep Them Flying”, “Back the Attack” and the fifth War Loan poster “Fire Away”. In 1958, Schreiber joined the faculty of the New School for Social Research in New York and in 1964 he was an artist-in-residence at Northern Michigan University in Marquette.
