Saul Raskin
Saul Raskin, The Cry of Union Square, about 1935

1935

About the Item

Saul Raskin's Cry of Union Square, has all my favorite things: a view of Union Square with S. Klein's department store on the right and a Chop Suey restaurant on the left. There's a surging crowd that angles left and right, with several of New York City's finest directing the throngs, and there's a tricky perspective that places this southern part of Park Avenue on a hill that peaks at the north eastern corner of the Square. Amazing! Born in the part of Russia now known as Prymorsk in Ukraine, Raskin traveled extensively in Europe before immigrating to this country in 1904 or 1905. Throughout his career he was a painter, printmaker, cartoonist, arts administrator, and critic of the arts and literature. Deeply imbedded in New York's Lower East side his work often featured depictions of Jewish life in this country and that of Palestine to which he also traveled frequently. This etching is 11 3/4 x 9 1/4 inches, it's signed and titled in pencil -- in that order left to right.
