In the first comprehensive study of Jewish identity and its meaning
for the history of art, eleven influential scholars illuminate the
formative role of Jews as subjects of art historical discourse. At
the same time, these essays introduce to art history an
understanding of the place of cultural identity in the production
of scholarship.
Contributors explore the meaning of Jewishness to writers and
artists alike through such topics as exile, iconoclasm, and
anti-Semitism. Included are essays on Anselm Kiefer and Theodor
Adorno; the effects of the Enlightenment; the rise of the
nation-state; Nazi policies on art history; the criticism of Meyer
Schapiro, Clement Greenberg, and Aby Warburg; the art of Judy
Chicago, Eleanor Antin, and Morris Gottlieb; and Jewish patronage
of German Expressionist art.
Offering a new approach to the history of art in which the cultural
identities of the makers and interpreters play a constitutive role,
this collection begins an important and overdue dialogue that will
have a significant impact on the fields of art history, Jewish
studies, and cultural studies.
