Born in the illustrious city of Vitebsk, Solomon Yudovin (1892-1954) studied art under the great Yehudah Pen. Yudovin accompanied his uncle, S. An-sky, during the course of the later’s two-year ethnographic expedition through the Jewish Pale of Settlement. Unlike his contemporaries Marc Chagall and Eli Lissitzky, Yudovin rejected Modernism and depicted both traditional Jewish and Socialist themes by way of his skillful wood engravings. See The Israel Museum Catalogue, The Jewish Art of Solomon Yudovin (1991).
