Summary
"In Western history, the cultural and social developments of modernism have long been associated with Jews. Usually this association has been negative: the perceived breakdown of traditional norms was blamed on Jewish influence in politics, society, and the arts. Throughout Europe, Jews were viewed as carriers of industrialized and cosmopolitan developments that threatened to undermine a cherished way of life." "This anthology examines the intersection of modernism and Jewish culture through the lens of visual production, including paintings, posters, sculpture, and architecture. Essays by scholars from the United States and Israel confront the contradictory impulses provoked by modernism's interaction with Jewish culture."--
