= Very rare exhibition catalogue of Issacher Ber Rybach (1897-1935), a Ukrainian Jewish artist who attended art school in Kyiv from 1911 to 1916. There, he belonged to a group of Jewish painters who combined the idea of a strong national self-confidence with an interest in modernist artistic movements. In the summer of 1916, Ryback traveled with El Lissitzky through Ukrainian and Belarusian Jewish small towns ("shtetls") on behalf of the Jewish Historical and Ethnographic Society, copying the paintings in wooden synagogues and carved gravestones in Jewish cemeteries. This trip sparked Ryback's interest in Jewish folk art, and from then on, he began regularly collecting and copying works of art. In 1917, Ryback participated in the Moscow Exhibition of Jewish Painters and Sculptors and was praised by critics as "one of the most brilliant and ingenious artists." Ryback left Russia in 1921 for Berlin, where he actively participated in international and Jewish cultural life. From 1921 to 1924, he was a member of the November Group and participated in its exhibitions and also exhibited his works at the Berlin Secession and the Juryfreie Kunstschau. With short manuscript dedication by ? to Walter and Grete Dexel.
