Weiss on Raphael Soyer

In the forthcoming article “I Paint the Way I Like To” Jerry N. Weiss writes about Raphael Soyer’s 1946 painting After the Bath. “Soyer formed a political alliance with his realistic colleagues in the 1950s in a battle that, like most in the art world, seemed to be pitched against a fear of annihilation,” explains Weiss. (Soyer taught at the Art Students League during the 1930s and early 1940s, as did his brother Isaac in the 1970s.) The article (PDF here[1]) will appear in the September issue of The Artist’s Magazine.
