Title:	Reclining Nude
Artist:	Soyer, Raphael (Tombov, Russia, 1899 - New York, 1987)
Date:	1966
Medium:	Original Etching
Edition:	Limited edition of thirty impressions, numbered 25/30.
Note:	Raphael Soyer is undoubtedly one of America's most famous twentieth century artists. He emigrated to New York City at the age of ten and shortly thereafter studied at the Art Students League while supporting himself and his family by working in factories and selling newspapers. Recognition thankfully came quickly to Soyer and in 1917 he published his first original lithograph. Raphael Soyer went on to become one of the greatest chroniclers of life in the Depression era and beyond. A full member of the National Academy, Raphael Soyer's original etchings, lithographs and paintings are included in most major American and international collections.
	One writer states, "The glamour and gaiety of city life or the impressive vistas and mighty skyscrapers that had been attractive subjects for New York painters were ignored by Raphael Soyer as he turned toward other kinds of realities and created his compassionate images of less fortunate people. ... Soyer's sympathetic portrayals of the misfortunate and indigent were untouched by the doctrinaire or harsh commentaries of some of his artist friends." *
	Soyer's compassion is a key factor in all his imagery. In "Reclining Nude", for example, he draws our eyes foremost to the emotional state of his model. While this is a study of a nude, it is more a portrait of a person. Only the hand of a great master such as Raphael Soyer could combine these elements with such artistry.
