This book untangles the complex definition of Jewish art, examining key issues such as: are the biblical works of Rembrandt to be included in such a definition? Are the works of Chagall on specifically Christian themes to be excluded? How is Israeli national art to be understood? Should the architecture of the synagogue and the art of the Jewish psalter be included too? These and many other questions are examined and discussed. The book also looks at art historical explanations, matters of archival legitimacy, the survival of fakes and forgeries and many other aspects of Jewish art.
