German Jewish artist born in Neuenburg am Rhein. He attended the Académie Julian, 1900-01 studying under Henri Matisse, furthering his studies in Munich, Breslau, 1905 and Berlin in 1910 where he was a pupil of Lovis Corinth. Between 1918 and 1933 he worked as a freelance painter and graphic artist. In 1930 he married the artist Adele Reifenberg. However, because the German Government forbade him to paint, Rosenbaum had to teach crafts in Jewish schools until he and his wife left Germany and moved to London in 1939. There he restored houses and porcelain and was able to resume serious painting. Julius and his wife Adele ran a private art school in the Belsize Park district of north London from 1948, until his death in 1956. The Ben Uri Art Gallery in London holds several examples of his work.

JULIUS ROSENBAUM MEMORIAL EXHIBITION
(March 18-April 11, 1957)
Friends, connoisseurs, artists and critics gathered
at the Ben Uri Art Gallery for the opening of the
exhibition, bearing witness to the great popularity
of this late painter and the high esteem in which
his work is held. Nearly one hundred oil paintings,
water-colours and drawings are on show, lovingly
and beautifully arranged by his widow, Adele
Reifenberg, herself a distinguished artist.
Julius Rosenbaum, born 78 years ago in West
Prussia in that Eastern part of the former German
Empire which was a store-house of Jewish talent
and genius, died in August, 1956, whilst on a
pilgrimage fo the Rembrandt exhibitions in
Holland. He certainly had something in common
with the immortal Dutchman—a truly human,
humble approach to men and to fhe world of
objects. Every visitor to the exhibition will be
moved by this qualify and by something else:
Julius Rosenbaum as, alas, so many other Jewish
artists of his time and origin, suffered persecution
and exile. Here jn England life was not easy for
him. He had to work hard and at jobs which
had nothing to do with his calling. But, as Dr.
Alec Lerner pointed out jn his opening speech,
nothing of this more sombre side of his life is
reflected in his work. Whether he puts his paint
on delicately or whether his oils blaze forth in
glowing colours, joy is reflected in them ; an inner
contentment which will communicate itself to all
visitors to the exhibition and to those who will
buy his paintings, thus honouring a brave and fine
man and a distinguished artist. A.R. less
