Member Virtual Lecture
Marc Chagall at the Jewish Museum
May 4 from 3–4 pm ET
Curator Stephen Brown will discuss the work of renowned artist Marc Chagall. Le Père (1911), a portrait of Chagall’s father, is on view at the Jewish Museum (through January 2024) and provides the occasion to review the career of the artist considered by many as “the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century.” This important loan offers us the opportunity to reconsider Chagall’s major contribution to the art of his times.
Member Virtual Lecture
Scenes from the Collection: Exploring Identity at the Jewish Museum
May 11 from 3–4 pm ET
Hear from Nelly Benedek, Deputy Director, Education and Programs, in a lecture exploring how artists have addressed identity in their works of art — through images and through texts depicted in images. This talk will consider who frames a person’s or community’s identity and the ways in which individuals take ownership of how they are represented.
