Saul Raskin (1878-1966) was a Russian born (now Ukraine) American artist, writer, lecturer and teacher best known for his depiction of Jewish subjects. Raskin was probably known more as a painter and caricaturist within the American Jewish community. He worked in various media and was known for his realist approach and attention to detail. His work focused on scenes of Jewish life and tradition particularly in the Lower East Side of New York. His first exhibition was in 1922 after emmigrating to the US in 1905. Raskin's paintings, sketches and lithographs portraying Jewish life in the Yishuv in Palestine were well known in the U. S. having appeared in many exhibitions and the press. They were widely praised by art critics.
