Itinerary

Discover Jewish Artists who Made their Mark on Modern Art

In the early 20th century, drawn to the French capital by its museums, studios and salons, scores of Jewish artists flocked to Paris and revolutionized art. Our discussions will center on this unprecedented phenomenon and the international School of Paris (École de Paris), a vibrant and diverse artistic community on the Left Bank, wherein Jews played a formative role. In each class, we will learn about pioneering Jewish artists and their innovative styles and techniques in painting and sculpture. We will study prominent artists such as Sonia Delaunay, Amedeo Modigliani, Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine, Jules Pascin, and more. We will also examine Jewish art dealers, collectors and intellectuals who reshaped the art world, including Gertrude Stein, Paul and Léonce Rosenberg, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, and Berthe Weill.

No background in art necessary. All that's required is a curious mind.
