These ideas, motivated by local customs, morality, and political and social interests, are clear in the work of twentieth-century Jewish artists such as Mark Rothko, Leon Israel, Max Weber, Saul Bernstein, and more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHeritage: Jewish Artists in America since 1900, \u003c\/i\u003e Matthew Baigell situates these artists in a uniquely Jewish context. Starting from the shared values and references that informed generations of work, Baigell explores a century of progress through that specific lens. Placing these artists in a focused and continuous history of their own, Baigell shows how Jewish art in America has been informed by national and political trends, how first-generation Jewish artists responded to the works of their predecessors and images from a world away, and how contemporary artists reckon with modern Judaism. A pioneering effort to isolate a Jewish art stream all its own, \u003ci\u003eHeritage\u003c\/i\u003e challenges traditional assumptions about modern American art history and the connections between generations of Jewish artists.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Baigell\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus in the Department of Art History at Rutgers University.
