About The Artist
painter, born 1893, Romania, Came to Palestine in 1912. From 1948 to 1952 was first Israeli Ministry Plenipotentiary to Rumania. Represented Israel at the Venice Biennale in 1952. He lived in Paris, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Died in his home in Tel Aviv on October 13, 1974. His house became "Rubin House" Museum' where all his works are shown. Reuven Rubin was among the formulators of the primitivistic trend in the Eretz Israel art of the 1920s, which, in the spirit of the Zionist revival, saw the East as a primal, innocent world. His primitive linoleum cuts from his early years in the country, influenced by Medieval, German Expressionist and Modern Russian art, constitute a break with his earlier work abroad.
