Schreiber (1924-2005) was born in Berlin and escaped at the outset of World War II, moving to New York. He was a student of the Reuben Tam at the Brooklyn Museum Art School. Schreiber enjoyed a long and successful art career both as a commercial art director in New York with Dell Publishing and others, and as a passionate creative geometric artist exhibiting frequently in New York galleries. His work can be seen at the West Palm Beach Airport, where the artist's family donated a painting for the Art in Public Places program. Schreiber's work is also in the permanent collection at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, as well as the Dallas Museum of Geometric and MADI Art, in Dallas, the latter of which organized the "Martin Schreiber Retrospective," October 2011-January 2012.
