Raphael Soyer (American, 1899-1987) was a painter, draftsman, and printmaker. His poetic, yet detailed, descriptions of people and places make him a forerunner among American scene painters. Said Soyer, “From all that I have seen, I am more than ever convinced that art must communicate, and it must represent, describe, and express people, their lives and times.”
