Norman Raeben
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norman Raeben (born 1901) is an American painter.
He was born in Russia, the youngest of the six children of Yiddish author Sholom Aleichem, whose most famous character Tevye the Milkman gave the blueprint for the musical Fiddler on the Roof. The pen-name 'Raeben' is probably derived from his family-name 'Rabinowitz'.
Raeben moved to New York City with his family in 1914. He studied painting from Robert Henri, George Luks and John French Sloan, who all belonged to the Ashcan School. His studio is on the 11th floor of Carnegie Hall.
His students include Bob Dylan, Bernice Sokol Kramer, Carolyn Schlam and Rosalyn Jacobs.
