Jules Perahim

Jules Perahim (1914 - 2008) was active/lived in France, Romania.  Jules Perahim is known for Surrealist painting, fantasy creatures.

Jules Perahim, born Julius Blumenfeld, was a leading member of the Surrealist group in Bucharest.  On February 7, 1932, Perahim had his first solo exhibition in Bucharest, organized by Marcel Janco.  Between 1936 and 1940, he was a regular contributor of socially engaged drawings in the progressive press.

When race laws were enacted in 1940 and Perahim was threatened because of his left-wing sympathies, he fled to the Soviet Union.  There he was sent on to the Caucasus and Armenia, where he had to perform unskilled labor.  Perahim returned to Bucharest in August 1944 and devoted himself to Socialist Realism.

From the 1950s onward, he concentrated on book illustrations and theatrical set designs, two art forms less strictly monitored by the censors.  In 1969 he immigrated to France.  It was in Paris that he returned to his earlier Surrealist style of painting, taking part in many exhibitions in France and elsewhere.
