Raphael Soyer was the twin brother of artist Moses
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. R. Soyer studied art in New
York at the Cooper Union, the National Academy of Design,
and the Art Students League. His favored themes are urban
views (such as Sixth Avenue), interiors, and quiet moments
in the lives of people. He also worked in the print media,
etchings, and lithographs. After 1940, he began to concentrate
on studies of women at work or posing in the studio. His paintings
and prints are in almost all major U.S. museums, including
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American
Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
