'Jewish Figure' by Ludwig Blum (1891-1974)
Ludwig Blum was an Israeli painter, born in Moravia, Czech Republic, known for his landscape paintings, especially of Jerusalem, where he lived and worked from 1923 until his passing. There, he was awarded the title Yekir Yerushalayim and a street was named in his honor.
Ludwig Blum was born in the town of Líšeň, near Brno in Moravia, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (later Czechoslovakia). Between 1910 and 1912, he studied painting in Vienna under the painter David Cohen. From 1913 to 1918, he was drafted and fought in WWI in the Austro-Hungarian army. After the war, from 1919 to 1920, he studied at the Academy of Art in Prague and was active in the Maccabi organization. During the years 1921–1923, he undertook study trips to London, Spain, Italy, Paris, and Amsterdam. Finally, in 1923, he immigrated to Israel and settled in Jerusalem.
