Isac Friedlander

Associated Names

Isac Friedlander

Artist, American, born Latvia, 1888 - 1968

This drawing portrays a group of individuals on a ship's deck. The figures are highly detailed, showing skeletal and weary physical forms with intricate lines denoting deep expressions on their faces. Their postures vary, with some holding onto the ship's railing, others cradling young ones, and several standing close together, conveying a mix of tension and solidarity. This is in the style of Käthe Kollwitz.
