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.
Woman with Jug is a beautiful and rare print by Rubin, one of the very first prints he ever made. The barefoot woman carries a large jug over her head, the traditional way the oriental women carry heavy weights, while in one hand she holds her child and in the other an empty jug. This extraordinary depiction has a sense of dynamic motion due to Rubin's quick and long lines of the the dress, the veil.
