Born on January 6, 1906 in Jezov (Austro-Hungarian Empire), Gabriel ZENDEL moved with his family to Paris at the end of the 1920s. He abandoned his studies in 1924 to devote himself to painting. He was a student of Paul Bornet.
In 1931, he showed his first personal exhibition at the Zak gallery.
From 1940 and until 1960 his art was resolutely in the post-cubist line.
