Highlighting
The Jewish Museum's unique collection of American art, this
exhibition focuses on the first half of the twentieth century,
a period of great social change and artistic activity during
which Jewish artists played a major role in shaping the direction
of American art. Through painting, sculpture, drawings, prints,
and photography, My America will present works concerned
with Jewish identity and involvement in American culture and
politics, and range in style from Social Realism to Abstract
Expressionism. Over 75 works by such prominent artists as Theresa
Bernstein, Adolph Gottlieb, Jacques Lipchitz, Morris Louis,
Elie Nadelman, Ben Shahn, Raphael Soyer, Alfred Stieglitz, and
Weegee will be on view.
