Allan Mitelman (1946-2025) was born in Poland to Jewish parents who had fled to Russia during World War II and then moved to Israel. The family immigrated to Australia in 1953, when Mitelman was still a child.
The established Melbourne painter and printmaker, known for his non-figurative style, died this past week (18 April) at the age of 79, leaving a deep legacy as both an artist and teacher. On social media this week, many lamented his loss.
