Modern Israeli Art

Description

In the land of Israel, even while it was still Palestine, 20th century art oscillated between two poles: modernist Tel Aviv and traditionalist Jerusalem. Looking at paintings, sculptures, and photographs, this lecture explores the various social and cultural conditions in which this art was produced. What kind of meanings can be read in this art? What can be learned from the styles that modern Israeli artists used and the subject matter they chose?
