The Jewish Museum Frankfurt presents The Female Side of God, based
on numerous objects from cultural history and contemporary works of
art. In a close reading of these works, the exhibition catalogue
introduces this hardly known and oftentimes even 'suppressed
tradition'. Comprehensible descriptions of these visual
representations of a female deity, which can be found throughout
the centuries, alternate with five essays, resulting from an
interdisciplinary symposium of the research association 'Religious
Positionings'. A highly topical publication, comprising faith,
science, and art. Text in English and German.
With the exhibition catalogue Back into the Light: Four Women
Artists – Their Works, Their Paths, the Jüdisches Museum
Frankfurt has dedicated itself to four rediscovered women artists.
Erna Pinner (1890–1987), Rosy Lilienfeld (1896–1942), Amalie
Seckbach (1870–1944), and Ruth Cahn (1875–1966) shaped the
artistic life of the 1920s in Frankfurt am Main and were also
noticed supra-regionally. National Socialist rule brought an end
not only to the cosmopolitan way of life that they cultivated, but
also threatened their work and their lives. Renowned art historians
examine the works of the four artists in essays for the catalogue.
Numerous illustrations and hitherto unpublished documents and
letters accompany these texts. The various historical contexts of
their individual lives and fate are also presented in cultural
studies essays by international experts.
