Social Realist, Saul Berman emigrated from Russia at an early age and began his art education at the Educational Alliance and the National Academy, both in New York City. Berman went on to study with Charles Hawthorne, and by 1920 he received Honorable Mention at the Chicago Art Institute.

Soon his work was included in other prestigious exhibitions: The Whitney Museum Annuals of 1938, 1940, and 1941; the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Annuals of 1928, 1929, 1932, 1933, 1934, and 1935; and American Art Today, the 1939 New York World's Fair. Berman won commissions for Federal Post Office Murals in Thompsonville, CT (1938), California, PA (1939), and Ashland, MA (1941) in addition to other awards.
