        History

        David Silverberg, 1936-
        David Silverberg was born in Montréal in 1936. By the age of seven, he was already studying art under Arthur Lismer (1885-1969) at the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts. In 1957, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from McGill University. That same year, he studied etching and engraving with William Hayter (1901-1988) at Atelier 17 in Paris and was influenced by those around him- including Max Ernst (1891-1976) Marc Chagall (1887-1985) and Roberto Matta (1911-2002).
        In 1963, Silverberg was invited to set up a printmaking department at Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B. and taught there for 32 years before moving to Wolfville, Nova Scotia in 1995. Silverberg’s work is represented in over 25 Public, government and Corporate Collections. He has had over 200 solo shows in Canada, the United States and Internationally.
