First Generation

$750.00

Mixed Media by Eric Rakov
(16in. x 16in.)

This piece is a tribute to the first generation Rakovs, who immigrated to the US from Russia at the beginning the 20th century and bore a family of 7 children… The youngest was my grandfather. The piece incorporates artifacts from their journey, including copies of government documents and actual slips from the family owned clothing store in Syracuse, NY where my grandfather worked. The reference photo was a familiar fixture in the family home; to pay honor to America’s 250 Anniversary for me means tribute to the millions of immigrants who left everything behind to pursue the dream of Life, Liberty and Happiness.
