Title:	Shadows
Artist:	Koppelman, Chaim (Brooklyn, New York, 1920 - 2009)
Date:	1957
Medium:	Original Etching
Edition:	Limited edition of twenty-five impressions.
Note:	Chaim Koppelman: More realist than abstractionist and more surrealist than realist, Chaim Koppelman’s etchings, aquatints and lithographs have both enchanted and haunted our imaginations since the end of the Second World War. Koppelman first studied at Brooklyn College and the Educational Alliance (1938) before moving on to the American Artists School of New York (1939) and the New School for Social Research, under Amedee Ozenfant. During the Second World War, Koppelman served with the American Air Force in Europe (1942-45). He used this time to further his artistic education, first at the Art College of Western England, Bristol, (1944) and then at the Ecole Regionale de Beaux-Arts in Reims (1945). As well, he studied the philosophy of Aesthetic Realism in New York with its founder, Eli Siegel, from 1940 to 1978, and continued his studies in this philosophy with the Chairman of Education, Elllen Reiss, until 2009.
	Chaim Koppelman's first one man show was held at the Outline Gallery in Pittsburgh in 1943. Since that time his art has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Los Angeles County Museum, Yale University, the Chicago Art Institute, and as far from home as Mexico City, London and Moscow. Chaim Koppelman is a full member of the Society of American Graphic Artists, the Boston Printmakers and the Society for Aesthetic Realism. His etchings and aquatints are included in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the National Gallery, Washington, and the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, New York City.
	Chaim Koppelman's art has long defied easy definition. It is both spiritual and psychological and most often explores our collective dream world. What can be said is that few artists since Goya and William Blake have delineated our unconscious with such brilliant imagery as Chaim Koppelman. Like Goya, however, extraordinary circumstances led Koppelman's art to also speak out in social protest. During the 1960's, he produced some of the most moving images of the horrors of the War in Vietnam. He stated, "For the first time in my life as an artist I felt I had to engage a social theme." * (Ralph E. Shikes, The Indignant Eye: The Artist as Social Critic, Boston, Beacon Press, 1969, p. 369.)
