Rom Landau
Romauld (Rom) Landau (1899–1974) was born in Poland, but later became a British citizen whilst serving as a volunteer in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He was a sculptor, author, educator, Foreign Service officer, and a specialist on Arab and Islamic culture. His particular area of interest was Morocco. He was also an art critic and book reviewer for several newspapers and periodicals, including ''The Spectator''.
==Life==
Born of Polish-German parents, Landau studied philosophy, art, and religion at various European schools and universities—notably in Germany—and spent his early years travelling and working as a sculptor. In 1922, whilst living in Berlin, he became the pupil of Georg Kolbe, then Germany's leading sculptor.〔See Landau (1936), ''Seven: An Essay in Confession'' (London: Ivor Nicholson and Watson Ltd.), p. 69, “(Georg Kolbe) was the creator of some of the finest modern statues, and we young sculptors looked up to him with an admiration that was almost religious."〕 During the late 1920s and early 1930s Landau established a minor reputation in Europe as a writer. His themes were art history, Polish biography (notably, Ignacy Jan Paderewski and Józef Klemens Piłsudski), and comparative religion. Landau's best known book from these years was ''God is My Adventure'' (1935).
