Paperback. Condition: Fine. 1st. 211 pages, illustrations (chiefly colour), maps; 29 cm. Translation and revision of: Humanisme et expressionnisme: la representation de la figure humaine et l'experience juive, published in France in 2008, accompanying the exhibition Human Expressionism at the Musee Tavet-Delacour in Pontoise. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Stated First Abbeville Press edition. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "In the twentieth century, the avant-garde movements promoted abstraction and formal experimentation in the visual arts, often dispensing with the human form altogether. Yet many artists of Jewish descent resisted this trend and continued to depict the human figure with sympathy and understanding. Few of them portrayed overtly Jewish themes, but--as Eliane Strosberg argues in this thought-provoking volume--their persistent devotion to figuration was itself a reflection of their Jewishness. Though their individual styles were diverse, they all used the human figure as a means of communicating, in secular terms, aspects of their Jewish intellectual heritage, such as their humanistic values, passion for social justice, and opposition to the nihilism that underlay so much of modern culture. For this reason, their work may be said to constitute an ethical, if not an aesthetic, art movement, which Strosberg aptly dubs 'Human Expressionism.' Strosberg begins her highly readable text with an overview of Jewish tradition that illuminates the mindset of many Jewish artists. She also provides a concise history of Jewish art from Genesis to the Enlightenment, in which she demonstrates that figurative art has actually had a place in Judaism for thousands of years, despite the Second Amendment's prohibition of graven images. However, Strosberg devotes the greater part of her study to a comparative analysis of those artists who fall under the rubric of Human Expressionism. Though her scope is impressively broad, ranging from Camille Pissarro to George Segal, she pays particular attention to the immigrant painters of the Ecole de Paris, like Soutine and Modigliani; the American social realists, like Ben Shahn and Raphael Soyer; and the masters of the postwar School of London, like Lucian Freud and R.B. Kitaj." "Illustrated with more than one hundred full-color reproductions of works by the artists under discussion, The Human Figure and Jewish Culture is an essential addition to any library of art history or Judaica.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Originalverpackt. Mischa Tscherikower, jüdischer Kleinbürger aus Russland, ist vor allem eines: ein alter Griesgram. Vor zehn Jahren nach Jerusalem ausgewandert, verbringt er seine Zeit damit, zu Hause Teppiche zu knüpfen und über Juden, Araber und ungenießbare koschere Wurst zu schimpfen. Als ihm eines Tages eine Sammlung gestohlener Diamanten in die Hände fällt, überschlagen sich die Ereignisse: Mischa landet im Bett seiner marokkanischen Nachbarin, seine Frau verlässt ihn für einen Orthodoxen und seine Tochter verliebt sich ausgerechnet in einen Palästinenser, der auch noch der Diamantengeschichte auf die Spur kommt. Ein Höllenritt beginnt, aber Mischa denkt gar nicht daran, seinen Fund wieder herzugeben. Es sind die Themen von Amos Oz, die Julia Wiener mit dem Witz von Etgar Keret (und einem Schuss Ephraim Kishon-Slapstick!) erzählt. In einer grandiosen Tour de Force stellt sie uns die Ansichten eines Helden von einfältiger Schönheit vor - und den alltäglichen Irrsinn in Israel aus höchst ungewöhnlicher Perspektive.
