David Friedmann was a pupil of Lovis Corinth and Hermann Struck. Approximately 1300 works by Friedmann (oil paintings, watercolours, lithographs, drawings, engravings) were confiscated from his lift at the Berlin freight forwarding company Silberstein & Co., Berlin Kurfürstendamm, probably between 16 October and December 1941.
Friedmann's Berlin flat was located at Paderborner Str. 9, Berlin W 15; even after fleeing to Prague on 27 December 1938, he paid rent until February 1940; he had already had to give up his studio at Xantener Str. 23 (Berlin-Wilmersdorf) in 1933.
After the war, he described the total loss of his own artworks as "approx. 2000".
16 paintings presumably disappeared in 1942 from the flat of his father-in-law, Prof. Dr Maximilian (Max) Fuchs, Wielandstr. 29, Berlin-Charlottenburg, after the Fuchs couple were deported in 1942.
Friedmann signed his works "Friedmann, D. Friedmann or Dav. Friedmann.
