About This Item
Large quarto 34.5x27 cm., wrappers, 30(2) pp. Joseph Chaikov (1888-1979) is one of the most important artists of the Yiddish avant-garde. He worked extensively as a graphic artist during the heyday of Yiddish experimental modernism; he is noted for his sculpture in his later years. Here he has rendered a superb color zincograph cover here for a score of children's songs written by Itzhak Peretz (Yitzkhok Leybush Peretz) and set to music by Moses (Moshe) Mil'ner. Milner (1886-1953) is noted for composing the first Yiddish opera in Russia, "Die Himlen Brenen.". It was denounced as reactionary after two performances and suppressed. He wrote theater music that was performed throughout the Soviet Union and was director of the Jewish Voice Ensemble (Evokans) in Leningrad. Refs: Futur-anterieur 196, but which notes a smaller version; Tradition & Revolution 60; Shmeruk 1084. Rare, with no worldcat listings found (but a copy held at the Jewish National & University Library). A near fine copy.
