- Lot Description
Raphael Soyer (American, 1899-1987), "Father and Sons" ink on paper, ca. 1920s to 1930s. Signed on lower right. A framed and signed ink drawing of a father with his arms around his sons - both nude and perhaps about to take a bath or go skinny dipping - by Social-Realist artist Raphael Soyer. During the Great Depression, his artwork captured the human condition with a social protest bent popular at the time. Portraits of laborers and unemployed workers were some of his favorite subjects; however, he also depicted his friends, family, and studio models. Soyer once aptly stated, "From all that I have seen, I am more than ever convinced that art must communicate, and it must represent, describe and express people, their lives and times." Size: 19.625" L x 15.75" W (49.8 cm x 40 cm) including frame
Born in Borisoglebsk, Russia, Raphael Soyer and his family immigrated to the Bronx, New York City in 1912 due to political turmoil in Czarist Russia. Living in New York had its advantages for a budding artist. Soyer studied art at Cooper Union, where he met and befriended the artist Chaim Gross. Following this, he studied under the artist Guy Pène du Bois at the Art Students League, and became linked with Reginald Marsh and Peggy Bacon. During his life he showed at many reputable institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Today, his works are included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
