This is the first critical study of artist Raphael Soyer (1899-1987), who was known especially for his representations of everyday life in New York City. Baskind argues that Soyer was greatly influenced by the Jewish-American immigrant experience, and she offers new strategies for identifying and interpreting modern Jewish art in general. Baskind's thoroughly researched and gracefully written book will appeal to historians of American art, of Jewish art and culture, and to the general public.
