The library recently purchased The Human Figure and Jewish Culture by Eliane Strosberg, An unusual book, illustrated with more than one-hundred full-color beautiful reproductions of works by the featured artists in a variety of media. After an overview of Jewish tradition titled The Jewish Experience, the author explores the use of the human figure in artistic expression in 3 periods of history from the Enlightenment through the Holocaust. The text is highly readable and the scope is broad, with the greatest concentration on immigrant painters of the Ecole de Paris and the masters of the postwar School of London.
The Human Figure and Jewish Culture is a wonderful resource that will appeal to those with an interest in art history and/or in discovering how these artists “used the human figure to communicate, in secular terms, aspects of their Jewish intellectual heritage.” – Adapted from the frontispiece of the book.
