Moses Soyer was the twin brother of artist
Raphael Soyer, and the older brother of artist Isaac Soyer.
They were born in 1899 in Tombov, Russia and came to the U.S. in 1912. M. Soyer studied in New York City at the Cooper Union,
the National Academy of Design, the Educational Alliance,
and the Ferrer School, all between 1916 and 1920. His work
extends into the present Rembrandt's warm, expressive, and
humanistic portraits and interiors. Like his brother Raphael,
he did many self-portraits. During the 1930s and 1940s he
depicted the effects of the Depression on the unemployed and
the underprivileged. During the 1940s, he portrayed many dancers,
often in poses, and often with a measure of melancholy. His
works are found in major U.S. museums, including the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum, and the Whitney
Museum of American Art.
