Jewish Russian Art: Gifts to the World
Our wonderful guide, Evgenia, waxes lyrical on the exceptional talents of Jewish artists in Russia, including the best-known, Marc Chagall. She introduces us to the work of some of these late 19th and early 20th Century skilled masters, who sought to find their own unique style in classical and modern art, from realism to the avant-garde. Evgenia will explore their views about the phenomenon of “Jewish art” and “Jewish artists”, illuminating for us the great gifts they have given the world.
