Abstract

Jewish art Art Education
Is there Jewish art? In his seminal 1966 Commentary essay, the art critic Harold Rosenberg explored the many ways of answering this question. He famously began by questioning whether the question itself was anti-Semitic, saying, "There is a Gentile answer, and a Jewish answer. The Gentile answer is: Yes, there is Jewish art, and No, there is no Jewish art. The Jewish answer is: What do you mean by Jewish art?"
