KRESTIN, LAZAR
KRESTIN, LAZAR (1868–1938), Austrian painter. Born in Kovno, Krestin studied in Vienna and Munich. He specialized in landscape paintings, reflecting the style of the great French impressionists. His work also contains many portraits and genre scenes of East European Jewish life. His subjects were similar to those of Isidor *Kaufmann, but Krestin did not attain a similar level of success.
From 1904 he was a member of the Wiener Kuenstlerhaus, the association of Austrian artists founded in 1861.
