About this talk

From Paris to New York, from the early 1900s to the postwar years, Jewish women found their own way into the story of modern art. Some worked within the great movements of their time; others created in exile, balancing artistic ambition with the realities of displacement and change.

This online lecture looks at artists such as Sonia Delaunay, whose sense of rhythm and color helped shape modern design; Lee Krasner and Eva Hesse, who brought new forms of expression to the American art scene; and Anna Ticho, whose drawings of Jerusalem helped define Israel's visual identity. We'll also remember those who never lived to see their recognition, like Charlotte Salomon and Friedl Dicker-Brandeis. Alongside these names, we'll meet other remarkable women whose work—whether preserved or nearly forgotten—continues to shape the story of Jewish creativity in the modern era.
