Jules Perahim (born Iuliș Blumenfeld) was a Romanian artist of Jewish origin. After being associated with Surrealist circles at the beginning of the 1930's, he contributed to the early development of what was to become Socialist Realism. In spite of the success he achieved during the Communist regime, he grew frustrated by the lack of artistic liberty and, at some point during the 1960's he moved to Paris, where he continued to paint in the surrealist style.
