Praying Jew. oil on canvas by Lesser Ury, 1931. Lesser Ury, born to Prussian Jewish parents in 1861, lost his father as a child and was raised by his mother in Berlin. his art focused largely on modern life, with a variety of subjects, from rainy city streets to women sewing to floral still-lifes. unfortunately, due to antagonistic relationships with other prominent Berlin artists, Ury died nearly penniless. much of his work was violently destroyed during the Third Reich and the remainder condemned to obscurity for decades. now, his surviving art is proudly displayed in several prominent museums, including the Jewish Museum.
