About this talk
Welcome to a journey into the world of Jewish artists who transformed European art forever! Imagine a group of young men, often from small towns in Eastern Europe, arriving in the city with big dreams and little else. Paris was their Promised Land—a place where they could finally make their mark on the world. Despite facing poverty and cultural challenges, they shared one thing: a burning passion for art.
We'll explore the lives of icons like Marc Chagall, Amedeo Modigliani, Chaïm Soutine, and Moïse Kisling. Whether you've admired their work for years or are just discovering it, I'm excited to guide you through this remarkable chapter of modern art history. Join me for a journey into the heart of an artistic revolution!
