Johnny Friedlaender's early studies were in Breslau under Otto Mueller. He later moved to Dresden and in 1935 he fled the Nazis by going to Czechoslovakia. In 1937 he moved to the Hague, in Holland, where he first exhibited. It was not long before he went to live in Paris. During the war he worked in the French Resistance, based in the south of France. After the war he returned to live and work in Paris though he paid frequent visits to the United States, where he taught and published some of his most important etchings. Though a fine abstract painter, he was also one of the most important masters and teachers of colored etching of the post-war years. His techniques influenced Stanley Hayter at Atelier 17 and many others of his contemporaries. He produced hundreds of etchings and the still incomplete catalogue runs into four volumes.
