Arie Lubin

Arie Lubin was an Israeli artist born in Chicago, USA. He studied art at the Art Institute of Chicago and later at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and with the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle.

During World War I, Lubin volunteered for the Jewish Legion, where he befriended artists like Avraham Melnikov, Nachum Gutman, and Menachem Shemi. He settled in Israel in 1923 and quickly integrated into the local art scene, exhibiting in places such as the Tower of David in Jerusalem, the Tel Aviv Museum, the Venice Biennale, and the São Paulo Biennale.

Lubin's early works in the 1920s were characterized by a cubist drawing style. By the late 1920s, he shifted to a post-impressionist figurative style, focusing mainly on landscapes. In the 1940s, he began painting mainly Eastern figures, a style that became his hallmark.

Arie Lubin received numerous awards for his work, including the Dizengoff Prize for Painting.
