Raphel Soyer Lovers Signed Vintage Modern Figurative Original Oil Painting

About the Item

An original introspective oil painting on canvas titled “Lovers” by American artist Raphael Soyer. Hand signed bottom right. Circa 1950s. Original gallery tag from Garelick’s Gallery (Birmingham, MI) on the verso as well as original gallery paperwork. The painting depicts a young couple. The woman is blankly staring ahead, while the man has his head bowed down and hands clasped together on the table. The walls behind them are bare, creating a stark and minimal composition. They seem isolated and somber, like subjects found in artworks by Edward Hopper. A unique opportunity to own an original painting from a New York Modernist painter. From a private collection. Dimensions: 28.5”h x 32.25”w x 1.75”d (framed). In very good vintage condition. Raphael Soyer (1899-1987) was a painter, draughtsman, and printmaker who believed that art is to survive, it must describe and express people, their lives and times. It must communicate. From an early age Soyer and his brothers Moses and Isaac were encouraged to draw by their father, a teacher of Hebrew literature and history. Forced to leave Russia in 1912, they immigrated to the United States and settled in Brooklyn. In the mid 1920s, having studied at Cooper Union, the National Academy of Design, and the Art Students League, Soyer painted scenes of life on New York's east side. His portrayals of derelicts, working people, and the unemployed around Union Square during the Depression reveal more of a poignant vision of the human condition than the art of social protest popular with many of his contemporaries. Throughout his life Soyer painted people his friends, himself, studio models with an unerring eye for intimacy and mood.
