BIOGRAPHY: Samuel Alexander Jafnel, a native of Russia, immigrated with his family to New York City in 1891. Jafnel first worked as a newspaper cartoonist in New York. His cartoon in the New York Call in 1912, predicting World War I, showed the earth as a death's head, pierced by a bayonet. Later he began painting portraits at Grossinger's Resort and the Lenape Hotel in the Catskill Mountains in the summer, spending winters on Miami Beach as a portrait artist. Jafnel had his first exhibit in Miami Beach in 1925. Fifteen years later, in January 1941, his second opened at the Miami Beach Library and Art Center on Collins Avenue. When the Freedom Train, carrying the foundation documents of the United States, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, came to Miami in December 1947, Jafnel's painting The Four Freedoms, was exhibited as part of the program. (The painting was later purchased by the Israel Museum of Art.) In 1953 Jafnel purchased a home on Miami Beach at 4214 Royal Palm Avenue and opened a studio at 630 Lincoln Road. Over his career Jafnel painted more than 1000 works. After he died in 1964, a small gallery was opened on Lincoln Road with some of his estate. The Miami Herald (September 24, 1967): "Jafnel was a realistic painter who executed excellent portraits and some symbolic paintings, such as his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. His favorite subjects were clowns, calypso performers, musicians, Jewish subjects and Miami Beach waterways and streets." Born: Katherine Slav, Russia, November 1887. Died: October 1964, Miami Beach.
