About the Item

Realist oil painting by Moses Soyer. The artist was often quoted as saying, "My message is people." He was always looking to find who the person within was. Soyer and his brothers Raphael and Isaac were all successful artists. Moses Soyer began his art studies at the Cooper Union and National Academy of Design, the Education Alliance, and eventually moved to the Ferrer Art School in Harlem to study with teachers who promoted the Ashcan style of painting. This style promoted unglamorized representations of everyday life and a focus on social realism. When many artists shifted to abstract expressionism Soyer continued painting in a realistic manner. He was elected in 1963 to the National Academy of Design and in 1966 to the National Institute of Arts and Letters. His work may be found in many museums including MoMA, the MET, the Smithsonian, and the Whitney. The Red Hat (c.1937) Oil on canvas, 18" x 14" 25" x 21 ¼" x 2 ¾" framed Signed "M Soyer" upper left.
