Around Jewish Art
Group : 728 entries PART IV Sculptors and medallists Probably
because of a reference in the Bible to Abraham destroying statues of
pagan gods, Jewish artists refrained from producing sculptures
representing humans until at least the 19th Century. It was only after
1880, when many Jews benefited from the emancipation process in Central
and Eastern Europe that they felt inclined to turn to this form of art.Many
Jewish artists worked as sculptors during the 19th and 20th Century,
some of them became quite famous like Chana Orlov, Jacques Lipchitz,
Elie Nadelman or Jacob Epstein among others.

Ben-Zion, Ben Zion Weinman Birth - Death : Ben-Zion settled in the U.S in 1920 and became an American citizen in 1936. This self-taught artist stopped writing in Hebrew with the rise of Nazism feeling that the language and his work was a scream that no one heard. Ben-Zion was a close friend of Mark Rothko with whom he founded the group “The Ten” in 1935 in New York. He exhaled his love for the Bible and biblical themes and also worked as a sculptor. The Jewish Museum in New York held two exhibitions of his works in 1948 and 1952 as well as a retrospective in 1956. Nationality : Ukrainian then American 1897-?
