Abram Molarsky (1880-1955) was an American Impressionist and Post-Impressionist, known primarily as a landscape painter and a colorist. Born in Kiev in the Ukraine, he immigrated with his family to the United States at the age of 12. In 1889 he began studying painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. His teachers included William Merritt Chase, Thomas Anshutz and Cecilia Beaux. Abram Molarsky and his younger brother Maurice Molarsky, who was also a student at the Pennsylvania Academy, went to Paris to continue their artistic studies in 1906. Abram returned to Philadelphia in 1908, where he married artist Sarah Ann Shreve.

In 1913 Molarsky had his first solo show, featuring 27 pastels, at the Doll & Richards Gallery in Boston, where he and his wife had settled. A critic for The Boston Globe said, “Molarsky’s color is delicate, refined and harmonious.” Five years later the family moved to Nutley, New Jersey, where Molarsky would spend the rest of his life. Throughout his career, he showed at many galleries and museums, including the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Corcoran Gallery, the National Academy of Design, the Philadelphia Watercolor Club, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Boston Art Museum, the Montclair Art Museum, and the Newark Museum. In New York, he was represented by the Milch Gallery. In addition to doing his own work, Molarsky taught plein air painting, watercolor and pastel to students in Nutley for many years.
