The painter and stage designer Isaac Rabichev was born in and studied in Kiev. Along with Issachar Ber Ryback, Abraham Manievich, Marc Chagall, and Robert Falk, he was a central figure in the artists’ division of the Kultur Lige that was established in Kiev in 1918. Their work sought to fuse traditional Jewish motifs with avant-garde techniques. He moved to Moscow in 1922 with several others in the group and turned to costume and set design for the Yiddish theater.
