About the Item
Raphael Soyer: 1899-1987. Very important and well listed American artist. One of the early social realist painters. He was born in Russia, but his family was deported by the Tsar in 1913. They settled in the lower east side of NYC. He studied at Cooper Union and the Arts Students League. He has auction results over $86,000. This Soyer subject of the famous jockey George "Georgie" Woolf is a rare opportunity for the crossover appeal of the horse racing collector as well as the Soyer collector. Woolf also known as the Iceman was one of the most successful jockeys of all time. He rode Seabiscuit to victory over the heavily favored War Admiral. Painting is unframed and measures 32 1/8 inches high by 20 1/2 wide. Original condition, could use a cleaning and possibly a restretch, see pics.

Raphael Soyer
Raphael Soyer, a Russian-born artist, was best known for his compassionate, naturalistic depictions of urban subjects. His sensitive, penetrating portrayals include a broad range of city dwellers, dancers, shoppers, office workers and fellow artists. Historically, Soyer is associated with the social realist artists of the 1930s, whose art championed the cause of social justice. Soyer was referred to as an American scene painter. He is identified as a Social Realist because of his interest in men and women viewed in contemporary settings which included the streets, subways, salons and artists' studios of New York City. He also wrote several books on his life and art. His brothers Moses and Issac were also notable artists.
