Signed by painter Raphael Soyer in pencil on the colophon page to the rear. Raphael Soyer was a Russian-born American painter draftsman and printmaker whose long career made him one of the most important figures in the Social Realist tradition of American art. Born in Borisoglebsk Russia he immigrated with his family to the Bronx in 1912 and went on to study at Cooper Union the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League becoming one of three brothers alongside Moses and Isaac Soyer who formed one of the most remarkable painting families in American art history. Identified as a Social Realist for his sustained interest in men and women viewed in the streets subways salons and artists' studios of New York City Soyer maintained a deep personal and artistic kinship with Alice Neel 1900-1984 one of the greatest American portraitists of the twentieth century the two painters united by their shared commitment to figurative painting and left-wing politics at a time when Abstract Expressionism dominated the critical establishment. As a portrait painter Soyer was drawn to depictions of his artist friends among them Neel and their friendship culminated in this celebrated Limited Editions Club production of 1985 for which Soyer contributed a two-page Artist's Tribute to Neel who died of cancer shortly before the book's official release. In fine condition. Housed in a custom cloth slipcase. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre American Romantic writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe is credited with inventing the genre of detective fiction and contributing to the genre of science fiction only just emerging at the turn of the 20th century. 'The Fall of the House of Usher' is a seminal work of Gothic fiction that explores themes of psychological decay familial degeneration and the uncanny. Through the decaying Usher mansion and the mental deterioration of its inhabitants Poe constructs a symbolic landscape that reflects the inner turmoil of his characters. The narrative’s atmosphere of claustrophobia and dread is intensified by its intricate prose and use of doubling particularly in the mirrored relationship between Roderick and Madeline Usher.
