Reuven Rubin
Reuven Rubin (Hebrew: ראובן רובין) was an Israeli modernist painter, one of the founders of Israeli painting.
Reuven Rubin's early works were influenced by European art movements such as Post-Impressionism and Fauvism. The artist often used bright colours and expressive brushwork. Over time, his style evolved to incorporate elements of cubism and abstraction, while maintaining a focus on depicting Jewish identity and connection to the land of Israel.
As one of the pioneering artists in Palestine, Reuven Rubin was instrumental in shaping the unique artistic identity of Israeli art. He was one of the founders of the Jerusalem House of Artists, a cultural institution that promoted art in the region. Rubin also served as director of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
