Khudozhniki Vitebska: Ieguda Pėn i ego ucheniki (Masterpieces of Jewish art)

by G Kazovskiĭ

The artistic life of Marc Shagal started in the school of drawing and painting of Yehuda Pen (1854-1937) in Vitebsk. Shagal was not the only talented disciple of this school. The history of the Vitebsk School can hardly be understood without passing judgement on the personality of its founder who represented a type characteristic of the Russian Jewish intelligentsia of the late 19th century. This volume introduces the work of artists of this original school, many of them for the first time. Parallel text in Russian and English. Notes. Glossy paper.
