(1866-1941)
was also known as "the best known Jew in San Francisco" in the 1930's, he was the leading patron of the Arts in San Francisco in the 1920-30's. Born in Dublin as the son of Rabbi Philip and Augusta Bender, both from Germany he'd emigrated to the US in 1881 made his fortune as an insurance broker. With his wealth he helped launch the career of many artists including Ansel Adams (and probably also Max Pollak). He had a significant impact on the cultural development of the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
was born in Vietnam in 1890, studied medicine and settled in San Francisco in 1937. He worked as a Professor of Pharmacology at the Stanford School of Medicine, and he wrote several novels. However, his great passion, which he shared with his wife Hilda, was prints by artists well known and unknown from the Renaissance to the early 20th century. The Kolbs collected thousands of prints by print masters such as Francesco Bartolozzi, Albrecht Durer, Martin Engelbrecht, Jan Wierix, William Hogarth, Anthony van Dyck, Lucan van Leyden, Bernard Picart, and Martin de Vos.
Pollak and his wife Friedl moved to San Francisco in 1938.

Judge and Mrs. Max C. Shloss
(1941) Max Schloss was a noted San Francisco judge. I could not find any biographical data.
Max Pollak and his wife Friedl moved to San Francisco in 1938. Most, maybe all portraits I've found so far all seem to be of persons of German origin, even those created after emigrating in 1926 to America and before: the Vienna portraits. It seems to me all Pollaks portraits are of Jewish people. Remarkable.
These last portraits were found in the database of the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums and shared here for friendly, educational and non commercial use only.
