Lost in America? Raphael Soyer and the search for modern Jewish art.
No full textThis dissertation examines the work of the Jewish-American, immigrant artist Raphael Soyer (1899--1987). Soyer's negotiations of his difference and Jewish identity in changing ways over his lifetime drive this analysis, and his artistic choices are understood in relation to different aspects of his ethnicity and position as an Other in the Diaspora. At the same time, this project questions and analyzes the assumptions and methodologies scholars employ when studying modern Jewish art. Many scholars have made unsubstantiated arguments about Jewish art, and have categorized as "Jewish" the work by artists who were born Jews without adequately exploring their assertions. Each chapter looks at "Jewish art" differently, but considers the concept through Soyer's art. The five chapters that comprise the main body of this study discuss Soyer's work as "Jewish" through iconography, theme, form, and style. Soyer is an interesting candidate for this kind of inquiry because he depicts Jewish themes and also embraces the subjects and forms of more mainstream American artists, and his art covers many categories, both in media and genre: he was a watercolorist etcher, lithographer, book illustrator, and painter, and created artworks ranging from self-portraits to still-lifes. Moreover, Soyer's life spans almost the entire twentieth century and his long, productive career reflects some of the vicissitudes of the Jewish-American immigrant experience. I conclude that although his art did not always deal explicitly with Jewish themes, the actuality behind the self-image Soyer projected reveals the strong influence of his Jewishness.Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2001.School code: 0153
