H.N. Abrams

<p>In Diary Of An Artist, Soyer eloquently reminisces about his travels throughout Europe; his impressions of great paintings hung in the museums of Paris, London, Rome, Florence, and the Soviet Union; and his affection for the works of Rembrandt, Degas, Cezanne, Eakins, and other art geniuses. His conversations with his colleagues of twentieth-century art, including Edward Hopper, Jack Levine, Leonard Baskin, and Henry Moore, elicit rarely articulated philosophies behind their work. And in the most autobiographical section, Soyer acknowledges the profound influence his family and friends have had on his work, as he recounts his emigration from Russia and his training and development as an artist.</p>
