Arieh Lubin

1897–1980

The modernist Israeli painter Arieh Lubin was born in Chicago. In 1913, his Zionist parents sent him to Tel Aviv to study at the Herzliya Gymnasium. When World War I broke out, he returned to Chicago and enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1917, he volunteered to serve in the British-sponsored Jewish Brigade, which fought against the Ottomans in Palestine. After the war, he returned to Chicago to complete his studies. In 1922, after a short period of travel in Europe, he returned to the Land of Israel. His work shows the influence of cubism.
