This book, accompanying an exhibition of graphic works on display at the Arthur Ross Gallery of the University of Pennsylvania, examines the vicissitudes of Jewish art activity over the span of the twentieth century. It focuses on a variety of key issues in the life and work of Jewish artists, including emigration and immigration, dilemmas of women artists, Zionism and the land of Israel the trauma of the Holocaust, the importance of New York as an artistic center, and the relation to other Jewish creative artists, in theater, film, music, and literature. Separate essays -- by the volume editor, Harry Rand, Juliet Bellow, and Freyda Spira -- address in detail the issues of diaspora and universalism, the New York School of Abstract Expressionism, women artists and their spaces, and the Berlin world of graphic artists and their publishers.
