Paul Lucien Dessau was a British artist best known for the paintings and drawings he made during World War II while serving as a fireman in London. After the war, Dessau left London and settled in the countryside, where he had a successful career as a portrait painter. He was also an accomplished pianist and, though less successfully, an inventor of household gadgets.
