About this title

Synopsis

This publication shows the artistic development of seven Jewish artists from Romania, exploring Segal's Neo-Impressionist art, Tzara's Dada experiments, Brauner's Surrealist works, Jaco's portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes, and Maxy's growing interest in social themes. The younger artists Jules Perahim and Paul Paun, inspired by their predecessors, were at the forefront of Surrealism. The crucial, trailblazing role of Jews from Rumania as innovators in the visual arts has received little attention. The lives and work of these seven men also shed light on the relationship between Jewish identity and radical modernity. Together, they confirm the importance of Bucharest in European avant-garde art.
