Goodman. Susan Tumarkin.: The Emergence of Jewish Artists in Nineteenth-Century Europe , London. Merrell. 2001.1st edn. Hardback in d/w. 192pp. 72 colour plates + 42 figures within text. Brown cloth boards with gilt titles to spine. FINE uninscribed copy in Fine unclipped d/w. Heavy book, will incur extra postage. This is the first book to survey Jewish artists in Europe in the nineteenth century, and examines a group of outstanding artists often ignored in standard art-history texts. As legal limitations on where Jews could live, work, and study were lifted in the nineteenth century, political emancipation and social acculturation brought about the integration of Jews into the larger society. Painting was essentially a new form of expression for Jews, and a highly personal and powerful meaning resonates within the works presented here. The essays in this volume discuss the ways in which the paintings gathered here reflect and interpret the experiences of Jewish artists in Europe during a century of great social and political change.
