Description
Featuring ten photographic and video projects by emerging and mid-career artists, all commissioned by The Jewish Museum, the book presents a range of provocative discussions of the nature of Jewish identity in 21st-century America. Susan Chevlowe discusses how the artists explore individual communities to dispel stereotypes of contemporary Jewish life, and Ilan Stavans dissects the diversity of American Jews over the last century.

Description
Ben Shahn (1898-1969) has long been renowned for his Social Realist paintings of Depression-era America. Linden examines the central importance of Shahn’s secular Jewish identity in shaping his artistic responses to social and political issues, immigration, and war in murals created in the New Deal era. She argues that these works represent Shahn’s search for a new symbolic language to express the personal and political upheavals of the post-Holocaust era marked by atomic weapons and the Cold War. The book also includes an illustrated chronology of Shahn’s career, compiled by Howard Greenfeld, author of a major new biography of the artist. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
