Marking the remarkable century of Ben Uri Gallery and Museum, from
humble beginnings in London's East End in 1915 to a fully-fledged
mainstream art museum, under its banner Art, Identity and Migration
, this publication reveals eleven essays covering each aspect of
the century's art history in parallel with the effect of emigre and
Jewish artists on the cultural mosaic of Britain and Europe. They
discuss the museum's world class collection including masterworks
by some of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, including
Soutine, Chagall, Auerbach, Bomberg, Kitaj and Kossoff. An array of
distinguished scholars survey the 'Whitechapel Boys'; Yiddish
London, Les Peintres Juifs de L'Ecole de Paris, Official War
artists from both conflicts; mid-century émigrés influencing the
direction of the arts, and contemporary artists making
ground-breaking work across new media. They point to this unique
collection, primarily of artists born into the Jewish faith, many
shaping modern British, European and American art history,
representing a distinct visual survey of artistic and social life
in Britain and the cultural heritage of British Jewry.
