The Cosmopolitan and National Idiom of Jewish Art
in the 1920s: École de Paris and Jung Idysz

The study treats the different ideological orientations, cosmopolitan and national, of two groups of Jewish artists, the Ecole de Paris and the Jung Idysz. While the Ecole de Paris abandoned the issue of national, ethnic and religious identity, Jung Idysz tried to revive the Jewish tradition and created a new iconography. Nonetheless, the groups had a common inner tie, something that might be called 'the strategy of identity'.
