So Soyer

OK, this will be my last post on my art adventures in Rochester, NY. But I feel that I must mention the Memorial Art Gallery show, "My America," which is a traveling exhibit created by The Jewish Museum. The exhibit highlights the work of Jewish artists during the first half of the 20th century. Raphael Soyer's work really caught my eye. His style is so distinct that I remember seeing one of his paintings when I visited an Art Students League show celebrating its famous alumni about a year ago. He's an artist about whom I'd like to learn more. (Images via The Jewish Museum)
