Abraham Manievich

1881–1942

The Russian-born painter Abraham Manievich studied painting in Kiev and Munich and enjoyed early success. After the Russian Revolution, he returned to Kiev, where he taught until immigrating to the United States in 1921. His most striking work is in the cubo-futurist style. The mislabeled Destruction of the Ghetto, Kiev (there was no ghetto in Kiev), with its harsh angularity, refers to the Kiev pogrom of 1919, in which one of his sons was killed.
