About the Item

Original drawing by Raphael Soyer’s twin brother Moses (1899-1974) of a resting woman. The medium is conte crayon and graphite and the work is signed by the artist lower right. It is matted and unframed and in excellent condition. Image size: 11 x 15. Mat size: 16 x 20. Moses chose social-realist themes of the Depression Era in America. He was born in Russia in 1899, and was one of three artistic brothers, the others being Raphael and Isaac. The artist immigrated from Russia with his family in 1913. His father was a Hebrew scholar. Later in his career, Moses Soyer turned to the depiction of female figures, especially ballet dancers. Moses Soyer's artistic studies began in 1916, and included classes in New York at Cooper Union, the National Academy of Design, the Educational Alliance, and the Modern School, where he was influenced by Robert Henri and George Bellows. After traveling to Europe on a fellowship, Soyer taught at several schools until The Depression made such teaching positions scarce. Together, Moses and his twin worked on some large projects, such as a mural commissioned by the Works Projects Administration for the Kingsessing Station Post Office in Philadelphia. Soyer died in 1974.
