For our friends near Berkeley:
We are thrilled that Reboot’s CEO David Katznelson, as well as Reboot Network members Adam Mansbach and Michael David Lukas will be among the presenters at the Jewish Arts & Bookfest, Sunday, May 4 at The Magnes in celebration of Jewish American Heritage Month.
The Jewish Arts & Bookfest, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., will bring together more than 30 authors and artists for panel discussions, workshops, readings, teen programs, and performances that showcase the Jewish experience through art, culture, and storytelling with activities for all ages.
"Samson and Delilah," Max Liebermann, 1902.
Liebermann (1847-1935) was a brilliant artist at a horrible time. He was a leading proponent of German Impressionism, was a leader of the Berlin Secession, an influential avant-garde art movement, but late in life, at the height of his artistic power, his work was dropped by major galleries because he was Jewish, and later all work by Jewish artists was banned.
He died of natural causes, but his paintings, as well as his personal collection, were looted by the Nazis. Liebermann's heirs are still struggling to reclaim his property.
This version of the story is interesting; Liebermann presents it as a modern battle of the sexes, without reference to any sort of Biblical setting.
From the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.

From Lilith:
At the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, 100 paintings by French-American Jewish artist Nicole Eisenman will be on view until September 22, 2024. The exhibition spans nearly 30 years of Eisenman's career -- viewers will note an evolution in style, technique, tone, and subject matter.
And don't miss "Seder," which positions the viewer at the head of the seder table, surrounded by a boldly colored family of stylistically diverse figures engaged in-and some, barely tolerating-their Passover ritual.

"The Sunflower," Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, 1914.
A Dutch graphic artist who taught Escher and others, de Mesquita, a Sephardic Jew, was murdered in Auschwitz. He is sadly almost forgotten today and deserves attention.
From a private collection.
"Orchard," Symche Trachter, c. 1928.
An idyllic image, but the artist's life ended tragically. He was born into a wealthy Jewish family in Lublin, studied art, and was exhibited regularly in Warsaw. When WWII came, he was interned in the Warsaw ghetto, and was later murdered in Treblinka.
