50 Jewish Artists You Should Know by Edward Van Voolen

Readers will find much to learn and explore in this beautiful collection of images from the most prominent Jewish artists of the past two centuries. Presented in chronological order, each entry features magnificent reproductions of major and lesser-known works, as well as a brief biography of the artist, compelling stories about his or her work, and relevant historical details. The range of artists includes those from across Europe, North America, and Israel: icons of nineteenth century art such as David Oppenheim, Solomon Hart, and Maricy Gottlieb; renowned modernists such as Pissarro, Modigliani and Chagall; and photographers from Man Ray to Nan Goldin. This wonderfully illustrated book introduces readers to the world's most important Jewish artists.
EDWARD VAN VOOLEN is a rabbi and art historian. Curator of the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam, he is the author of several books on art, architecture, and Judaism.
