About This Item
New York: Machmadim Art, 1946. Hardcover. g. Signed. 4to. vii, (unpaginated). Original red cloth with gold lettering on cover. A collection of 39 charming charcoal and pen drawings depicting Jewish life in the early 20th century by the famous Russian-American Jewish artist Abraham Walkowitz. Includes an English pamphlet by Isaac Lichtenstein, which discusses Walkowitz's style and places him within the context of early modernist art. A powerful look into a now lost world that ranges from market place dealings to rabbis with Torah scrolls. This book was printed what after the Holocaust and can thus be seen as part of the beginning of the process of memorializing European Jewry. Text in Yiddish. Inscribed by author on front free endpaper. Some wear to spine and edges. Binding loose, but still intact. Overall in good condition.
