About the Item
Soyer, Raphael (American, born Russia, 1899-1987). BACKSTAGE. Cole 43, Gettings 43. Etching and drypoint, c. 1937. Edition size not known, but likely only about 25, according to Soyer as told to Gettings. Signed in pencil, lower right, and stamped "Federal Art Project/NYC WPA," lower left. 8 3/8 x 6 7/8 inches (image), 13 3/4 x 11 3/4, sheet. Thematically similar to the artist's lithograph "The Team," Cole 23, Gettings 42, but with the addition of the two figures at left (the man in the doorway appears to be a self-portrait). Soyer commented to Gettings in 1982, "I think it is the only complete drypoint I ever made." Soyer did several prints under the auspices of the WPA's Federal Art Project, all in small editions, all now rare. In excellent condition.

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.
