Reuven Rubin (1893-1974) was born in Romania in 1893. He immigrated to Israel in 1912 and settled in Jerusalem. A year after he traveled to Paris to study at École des beaux-art. He then returned to Israel. Rubin's work sings with the joy of living in country sides drenched with sun, blossoming flowers, luscious fruits and in silver foliage of an age-old tree. Rubin identified with the biblical country of Israel, with its people and sunlit land. In his language of imagery he told us biblical parables in a magical and extraordinary way. Rubin is considered one of the most renowned and famous Israeli artists worldwide with works in collections of leading museums such as MoMA (New York), Museé d'art Moderne (Paris), Jewish Museum (New York) and others.
In this beautiful print, Fisherman Family , a humble fisherman is kneeling down and presenting a large fish while his wife at the back, is holding their son in one hand and in the other two fish on a hook. This intimate and simple scene is one of many by Rubin that demonstrate his fascination with the simple and hard working people of Israel. The common fisherman is presented in an affectionate, naive and admirable manner, as Rubin saw him and the rest of the labor men.
