Solomon Yudovin (Соломон Борисович Юдовин; 1892-1954), born in Beshenkovichi in the Vitebsk region, studied art under Yehuda Pen and Mstislav Dobuzhinsky and specialized in printmaking and book illustration. In the years 1912-1914 he was a member of An-sky's ethnographic expedition to the Pale of Settlement, a journey that greatly influenced his artistic path. Most of his works dealt with Jewish themes and incorporated Jewish folk motifs. In the years 1918-1923 he stayed in Vitebsk, which was then one of the centers of avant-garde artistic activity. Unlike many of his contemporary Russian Jewish artists, Yudovin was not influenced by modernism and engaged in realistic figurative art throughout his life.
