Colouring Outside the Lines: More Jewish Rebels in the Artworld
More than 10 years ago, Sonia presented the course “Colouring Outside the Lines: Jewish Rebels in the Artworld”; this year, she is offering us additional material in her new course
subtitled “More Jewish Rebels in the Artworld.” The European and American artworlds throughout the 20th century consisted of numerous Jewish artists and patrons who shocked
the world with their non-conformist lives and/or artistic practice. Explore the lives and works of more rebellious Jewish figures by investigating how their Judaism played a role in
their unconventional biographical and artistic choices. Featured topics: Stylistic Rebels, Rebels who Defied Gender Norms, Rebel Art Patrons, Ethical Rebels(?), Subversive Artists
of the Holocaust, and Feminist Rebels of the Late 20th Century.
