Rubin - born Reuven Zelicovici in 1893, the eighth of 13 children in a poor Hasidic family in Galatz - earned international acclaim over a prolific career that lasted literally until the day he died in 1974. He is, however, best-known for first impressions he gathered upon settling in Palestine in 1923, when he famously pitched a tent on the Tel Aviv seashore in order to capture the blinding Mediterranean sunlight and birth of the city. These preliminary impressions, rendered in flat forms and a naive, almost folkloric style, captured the great promise of Israel's pioneer generation. Many of these images are included in the collections listed below
