Hyman Bloom

1913–2009

The painter Hyman Bloom was born in Latvia and immigrated to Boston with his parents when he was seven. His talent was recognized early, and he entered Harvard on a scholarship, along with his friend Jack Levine. He painted in a highly emotional, figurative style, and his later work was permeated with occult and mystical concerns. After World War II and the Holocaust, he turned to explicitly Jewish themes.
