Thomas Gleb, pseudonym of Yehouda Chaim Kalman, born December 5, 1912 in Zelów (Poland) and died August 7, 1991 in Angers is a French painter, sculptor and tapestry maker of Polish origin.
Yehouda Chaim Kalman was born on December 5, 1912 in Zelów, a small town southwest of Łódź, in central Poland. He was the second child in a family of five. His father, Moses Kalman, was a weaver1. His mother's name was Rebecca Laskier.
In 1917, he entered primary school, the kheder (literally in Yiddish "the room"), where he learned Hebrew and became familiar with the Bible. "I learned the Torah. I learned the Ten Commandments, which became, after fifty years of gestation, a source of inspiration: you will find traces of my paths that lead to the source, to a beginning
From 1922, he practiced various small trades: stamp engraver, water and bread seller and drew in secret. He was a weaver in 1925. In 1926, he became a student of Jozef Mitler (1895-1939) in Łódź, where he learned realistic drawing.
He began a real artistic activity in 1929 and entered the Start studio in Łódź where he drew models from life and tackled oil painting (portraits, still lifes)1.
He continued his pictorial research in Paris in 1932 and considered the painter Arthur Rennert as his master. Working in odd jobs, he was a retoucher of photographic portraits, a decorator of lead soldiers and a decorator. He adopted the pseudonym “Thomas Gleb”, following an article on the “glebe”, published on his painting1. “My nickname is Thomas because I didn’t believe it, Gleb is a name…”
In 1935, his first exhibition took place in his studio, rue de la Chine in the 20th arrondissement of Paris with the photographer Władysław Sławny. During evening French classes, rue de Paradis1, he met his future wife, Malka Tetelbaum, known as Maria, born in 1910 in Biała Podlaska2. They married at the town hall of the 10th arrondissement in 1939. He went on foot to see the Rembrandt exhibition in Amsterdam, settled for a while in Brussels where he met the director Fernand Piette, and designed sets and costumes1. Back in Paris, he continued this activity and created 17 sets for the PIAT theatre until 1939.
He exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in 1938 in Paris.

His eldest daughter Yolanda was born in 1941.
He took refuge with his family in Grenoble in 1943 and held two exhibitions under his resistance name at the Répellin gallery.
He became friends with Andry-Farcy (the curator of the Grenoble museum), Séverac, Verbanesco and Émile Gilioli (1911-1977), one of the leaders of abstraction in French sculpture in the 1950s alongside Constantin Brancusi and Jean Arp.
Arrested by the Gestapo on July 8, 1944, he was transferred to Lyon to Montluc prison, then to Saint-Paul prison. Deported on 11 August to Germany, he managed to slip off the train at Serocourt in the Vosges south of Nancy. He hid near Serocourt until the arrival of the Leclerc division and the Americans who had decided to retake Épinal "in pincers".
