Antique Auction

An antique Judaica patinated bronze old seller sculpture by Issachar Ber Ryback, a Jewish, Ukrainian, and French, 1897 to 1935, a painter, graphic artist, and sculptor; active in the Jewish art renaissance in Russia. The sculpture depicts a laughing elderly merchant carrying a basket of chickens. Raised on a base signed with the artists name. Protective fabric on the bottom. Yisakhar Ber Rybak was born in Elisavetgrad, Ukraine. Studied at the Art Academy of Kiev from 1911 to 1916. In the summers of 1915 and 1916, he accompanied El Lissitzky on expeditions for the Jewish Historical and Ethnographic Society, copying tombstones in Orsha and culling folk-inspired prints, ceremonial silver objects, and synagogue wood carvings in Podolia and Volhynia. Combining the motifs of Jewish folk art with the traditions of European modernism (first Cubism, later Expressionism), he depicted the scenes of Jewish life, in which he uniquely and subtly conveyed the worldview of the Jews of Eastern Europe and the poetics of their daily life. Modernist Sculpture for Collectors.
