Aron Haber Beron, who arrived in France in his youth, took the name Beron to distinguish himself from his brother Tévié. At nineteen, his drawings attracted the attention of the dealer Zborowski, who brought him over from Poland and purchased all of his works. Beron visited the Louvre regularly and devoted himself entirely to painting, despite a mental illness that worsened over time. After a therapeutic stay in La Ciotat, he returned to Paris and continued to paint intensely, until an incident at the Louvre led to his internment at Sainte-Anne Hospital, then to a private clinic under the care of the Zborowskis.
Even during his convalescence, Beron continued to send his works to Paris. René Gimpel became another ardent admirer and purchased several of his paintings, even considering publishing a monograph on the artist. After a brief return to Poland, Aron Haber Beron died at the age of twenty-five following a hunger strike, leaving an artistic legacy marked by his precocious talent and intense production in a very short period of time.
