Benn Rabinowicz
Born in Bialystok, Poland. His full name is Bension Rabinowicz. His grandfather
was a Rabbi and his father was an architect. In 1917, he spent two years in
Diatvolo at his father’s sister house, where he studied painting.
As he returned to Bialystok, he set- up a workshop, where he worked
between the years 1922-1924, during this time he decided to found a painting
academy in his family house. Between the years 1926-1930 he worked as a
theater decorator. In 1927, he exhibited his first solo exhibition in his
hometown. In 1928, he presented his work in the Salon in Warsaw. In the same
year he participated in organizing the winter exhibition in Bialystok. In
1929, his hometown granted him a scholarship to study in Paris for three
years. His future wife, Geurra, the one he will marry in 1938, was against
this move. But eventually she joined him to Paris. In 1930, he attended the
Fernand Leger modern Academy in Paris. He fell in love with Paris and decided
to accept the French Nationality. Benn was never a part of any specific
artistic style. Based on geometric figures, his work always remained loyal to
reality. During this time he managed to establish his reputation as one of
the great modern painters of his time. In 1939, in the beginning of the
Second World War, he became a refugee, moving from place to place. In spite
of this difficult situation, he continued sending his works to the Fall
Exhibitions in Paris. In 1941, Benn and his wife were sent to the transition
camp (a concentration camp) in Beaune-La-Roland. They managed to be released
thanks to the intervention of the professors Marcel Brule and De Lo Duce.
Under the protection of Jean Paulhen, they hide for twenty- six monthes, in
Paulhen cellar. During this difficult time, they lived in fear of deportation.
Back home, in Poland, Benn’s parents were massacred in a death camp. After
the war ended, they came back to Paris and settled down for good. During the
period after the war, Benn dealt with biblical themes, mostly in small
formats. This interest in biblical themes was very common among Jewish
artists that survived the war and the holocaust. The holocaust caused many
Jewish people question the existence of god, some became atheists, and some
became stronger believers. One of his most notable works in this theme is the
126 illustrations of psalms that were presented in the Museum of Modern Art
in Paris, Museum of Lyon and many other places.
