EUGENE MOCHA Portrait
By PETER MARTIN

ONE day at the Workers Interna-
v tional Relief Office in New York
the talk turned to revolutionary art
ists. After all" said one comrade, 'it
is very difficult and almost impossible
to be at the same time a good revolu-
tionary, and a good revolutionary art
iSt. The energy demanded Of a good
revolutionary leaves no time fer art
istic development, and vice versa"
We ell nodded cur heads in agree
ment, but CoIrade F. spoke up:
Look at Nigobl You forgot HJgob."
That's right said another COM
rade.
I decided to meet Nigob. had a
hazy memory Of having heard Nigob
play some years back at Aeolian Hall.
The program, the circumstances,
everything about the event was OBJ
scured-btt this very same worker
artist-revolutionary had been the
darling Of the bourgeoisiei
Nigob met me at the door. saw a
man CT medium height, with features
clear and well formed, with gray eyes
peering from under the fine gray hair,
few locks Of which fell over his
forehead. He shook my hand and
bowed bit, and smiled. l was i'm
mediately impressed with the unas-
sunnjng air Of his simple gesture. It
was cold outside; without word he
began to prepare tea.
AS he busted himself about the stove
he spoke, first in fragments, and then
In easy sentences.
Studied Under Puchalsky
Nigob is IN his middle forties. His
musical training began in his native
Russia when he was fourteen under
Pucha,sky, mentor Of Drucker, vlainnir
Horowitz, and Theresa Karinio. Pu-
chalsky, he said, undertook to train
him without cost, that Is, without
seeking patronage for him, and in
Hted him to live at HIS house. Later
Nigob went to Mikhailowsky in War
saw. -
"But that was long time ago, he
smiled as If in depreciation.
When we were seated at his desk,
/ said, Gam I mistaken in thinking
I heard you play at Aeolian Hall
about ten years ago7"
"No. also gave concerts at Town
Hall and the Metropolitan Opera
House"
Let me ssk you a question" Com
rade F. who was also present, inter
iected. when did you first come into
the movement anyway
Comrade Nigob replied soberly, Il
think felt myself q part Of it from
the first. day of the Revolution, but
my ipbringing and my background
kept me out OF. it until several years
later. l am sorry that 1 have come to
the movement so late. 1 realize that
had 1t been earlier I would be today
much better artist"
Comrade F. smiled at me.
ut is hard to say in few words.
But when came to the movement I
gave up the piano to do organization
work in Harlem. I drove q truck fer
the Workers International Relief. I
participated in the daily struggles for
relief, in the Hunger Marches. in the
demonstrations. All this had deep
effect; I began to feel the power and
beauty Of the masses and BEGAN to
express this feeling in my playing"
