Gershon Benjamin was an American modern painter. Born in Piatra Neamț, Romania, he immigrated with his family to Montreal at the age of two, to escape the persecution of Jews throughout Eastern Europe at the time. As a youth he was trained by Edmond Dyonnet and then mentored by landscape painter Arthur-Dominique Rozaire, whom he intended to follow to Los Angeles but his parents forbid it.
