  • Depression-Era Paintings Show Misery and Joy
    February 7, 2013, 5:00am Depression-Era Paintings Show Misery and Joy By Renee Ghert-Zand “The Emigrants” a circa-1930 oil painting by Julius Bloch, is the signature image in a new exhibition at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, “Jewish Artists in America 1925-1945.” “It conveys the experience of immigrants, one that is intimately and deeply tied to this museum,” said Josh Perelman, NMAJH’s chief curator and director of exhibitions and collections. “It is evocative and beautiful, and it tells a deep story.” The painting by Bloch is one of 21 artworks (18 paintings and three lithograph prints) from the collection of Steven and Stephanie Wasser that tell the un-romanticized story of immigrants and all Americans during what many would argue was the most trying period in the 20th century. On view at the museum until the end of June are City Rooftops’ by Louis Ribak. Collection of Steven and Stephanie Depression-era works by political artists, working Wasser. independently or under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration, chronicling the hardships seen on city streets and in rural fields, at work and at home. Among them are Aaron Berkman’s ”Subway,” Louis Ribak’s “City Rooftops” and Saul Steinberg’s “One Summer Night.” Steven Wasser, a Boston-based businessman and collector of social realist art, originally loaned the museum “Ida at the Easel,” a painting by Moses Soyer, for its core exhibit. “We thankfully found a good moment to show more pieces from the Wasser collection,” Perelman said of this new exhibition.

  • A Visual Dialogue: on the Art of the Soyer Brothers
    A Visual Dialogue: On the Art of the Soyer Brothers To Guillermo Agaze and David Soyer and, full circle, to Gerard Degre Section 1: Introduction Opening I.Beginning A Visual Dialogue engages the creative struggle of the Soyer brothers, Isaac, Moses and Raphael, as passionately disciplined visual artists whose work profoundly and intentionally addresses the human condition.1. Their art matured in the 1930's. They are now deceased. They were Jewish Americans, New Yorkers: born in Russia. They were “on the left”, yet rejected the designation “social realist”, with its resonance of communist “agitprop”. Isaac is my father. Moses and Raphael are my uncles. III. Focus 1 In the literature, Moses and Raphael are almost always considered separately. Isaac is normally disregarded. I discuss them together (questioning similarities and differences). The basic structure and dynamics of the brothers’ work are usually approached outside artistic projects and problems. It is classified by content. They are “regionalists” (“New York artists”) and “painters of the American scene”. It is explained and critiqued as expressions of non-artistic group identities (primarily as immigrant, Jewish and leftist). I follow Isaac, Moses and Raphael in foregrounding artistic concerns. 2 I generalize Max Weber’s heuristic assumption that religion is normally influenced by “religious needs” to all disciplines including art (c.270): hypotheses of influence must demonstrate relevance to artistic problems and choices. 1 I refer to Isaac Moses and Raphael as “the Soyer brothers.” There is another brother, Israel, and two sisters, Fanny and Rebecca. They were not visual artists. 3 Academic discussion of the brothers’ artistic process focuses on limited tactical/technical concerns.
