Description

Anatoli Lvovich Kaplan (1902 - 1980). Bedroom. Paper / Lithograph. Signed A. Kaplan. 1970th. Anatoli Lvovich Kaplan (Russian: Анатолий Львович Каплан, (1902 – 1980) was a Soviet-era Russian painter, sculptor and printmaker, whose works often reflect his Jewish origins. Kaplan drew illustrations to Shalom Aleichem's Kasrilovka (1937–41), The Bewitched Tailor (1953–57); and Tevye the Milkman (1957–61). The series "Views of Leningrad" (1946), executed during the days of the blockade, were acquired by many Russian museums. He also created lithographs for Song of Songs (1958–60), Yiddish Folk Songs (1959–60), and The Little Goat (1958). Kaplan, even at this late date, caught the atmosphere of the Jewish shtetl with simplicity and humor and succeeded in conveying the poetic mood of the literary sources.
