Kehilat HaNahar, The Little Shul by the River in New Hope, has scheduled a series of presentations, “Jews in the Forefront of American Modern Art,” on three consecutive Sundays starting on Feb. 13 on Zoom. The art series will be led by New Hope resident and KHN member David Stoller.
The program will look at four Jewish artists: Ben Shahn, Mark Rothko, Helen Frankenthaler, and Louise Nevelson. They are representatives of a larger group of Jewish artists who had an outsized influence on the rise of American modern art. The four lectures will feature many presentations of the four artists’ works, illustrating their evolution as artists and explaining their historic and continuing importance.
To register for one or more in the series to be held on Zoom from 1-2:30 p.m. Feb. 13, 20, and 27, email littleshul@kehilathanahar.org.
