Solomon Yudovin
1892–1954
Born in Beshenkovichi, a village near Vitebsk (today in Belarus), Solomon Yudovin was a Russian graphic artist and book illustrator. Unlike his contemporaries Marc Chagall and El Lissitzky, he was not a modernist and worked within a figurative, realist tradition throughout his life. He is known especially for his woodcuts and linocuts of Jewish life in the Pale of Settlement and for his series of Jewish folk ornaments.
