Aryeh Rothman was born in 1921 in Vienna, Austria. His religious background and traditional upbringing of his early childhood is not what encouraged him to draw – an activity he was always fond of as far back as he could remember. Aryeh’s father was an active and devoted Zionist which is what led to the family’s eventual immigration to Israel (then Palestine). At the age of 10 Aryeh joined the renowned Chayes Gymnasium, the well known Jewish high school in Vienna where the daily study of modern Hebrew was obligatory. At the age of 16 he became a member of Hashomer Hatzair, a Zionist and Socialist youth movement. However, high school came to an abrupt end in 1938 after Hitler’s invasion of Austria, and in October 1939 six weeks after the outbreak of World War II he boarded a ship, which sailed illegally along the Danube via the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, and eventually after 3 months, arrived at the shores of Palestine. Yet the ship was caught on the way by a British warship, and after its arrival in Haifa the entire group of over 700 immigrants were interned at the camp in Atlit. After he was released in the summer of 1940 A. Rothman spent a year and a half in various kibbutzim, and in 1943 he finally settled in Kibbutz Ein Hamifratz where he lived out his life. Agricultural work, together with the hardship of life, left little time for artistic activities. The artist devoted therefore all of his spare time and holidays to drawing and painting. Volens Nolens he turned into an audodidact. As a member of the “Organization of Painters and Sculptors of the Kibbutz Artzi Movement” he took part in several group exhibitions. From 1955 he served for almost three years as Chairman of the organization. From 1958-1959 he worked as an illustrator for the children’s weekly “Mishmar L’yeladim.” In 1959 he became member of the Association of Sculptors and Painters in Israel. It was not before 1959 that he was granted a trip to France by the Kibbutz. In Paris, after many trials in different places he finally settled in the studio of Johnny Friedlaender where he stayed for a year and a half, devoting all of his time to the thorough study of the art of etching.

In 1973 he was invited to teach etching and drawing at the Art Department of Haifa University where he stayed for three years. In 1975 the Mabat Gallery in Tel Aviv published an album under the name “Reflections at War.” This album contained 10 original etchings which were created during the Yom Kippur War in 1973.
