The same situation is with the study of heritage of creative artist Solomon Aronovich Rosenbaum (1885–1941). Definitely, the article, which is devoted to the publication of archival material about the artist’s creative biography with an introductory article and commentary is relevant and has scientific value. Research methods. The researcher used the methods of historical and art analysis and empirical knowledge. Scientific novelty. For the first time, valuable and important archival materials from creative biography of Solomon Rosenbaum are introduced into scientific parlance. Summary.
