Jewish art in America : an introduction

"Jewish Art in America explores how the artists' Jewish heritage plays a part in their response to major events in history such as the Great Migration, the Great Depression, the Holocaust, the founding of the State of Israel, and the dispersal of Jewish artists around the country. It is a story of the Jewish experience in American art as seen through the works of eighty artists, including major figures as well as artists whose works have not achieved mainstream prominence."--Jacket
