    Abstract: Helena Rubinstein (1872 - 1965), the great 20th-century cosmetics entrepreneur, changed the way women saw themselves, using her own remarkable life and spectacular art collections as a model. Rubinstein broke free from the constraints of her 19th-century, small-town, Polish Jewish background to become a giant of the beauty industry and an international household name. A key figure in the development of modern taste and style, she produced and marketed the means for ordinary women to assert their own individuality. Through her conception of the beauty salon as a place of modernist display, she empowered the modern woman to define herself through her choices in taste and decor. Helena Rubinstein: Beauty Is Power traces the path of this remarkable early feminist and visionary art patron. In Rubinstein̷s world, art and commerce blended seamlessly. She ornamented her salons and homes with splendid artworks̶Surrealist murals, modernist portraits, Art Deco furniture, Venetian mirrors, and one of the era̷s great collections of African and Oceanic art. Her understanding of beauty was similarly expansive and democratic: she saw the face as the site for self-expression and the exploration of identity. The Rubinstein beauty program thus included not only makeup and hairdressing, but also lessons in health, deportment, and culture. Such features, innovative at the time and wildly popular, today provide a fascinating glimpse into popular culture as it affected women in the 20th century.

    Abstract: An engaging exploration of the use of language in a complex and colorful series of paintings Mel Bochner (b. 1940) is celebrated as a key Conceptual artist of the 1960s. Less well-known are his paintings made after that period: complex works based on an exploration of language, often crowded with typography in lush, contrasting hues that both embrace and challenge the painterly tradition. Mel Bochner: Strong Language focuses on this important body of work, in which Bochner investigates the lines between text and image. Ranging from bold admonishments and witty emoticons to provocative floods of words, these works demonstrate conceptual seriousness, as well as delight in the playful potential of language. Norman L. Kleeblatt discusses the evolution of Bochner's art from his early word experiments through his return to painting, while Bochner offers a personal perspective. Both Kleeblatt and Bochner address the question of Jewishness in Bochner's work, particularly the ways in which the Jewish intellectual tradition embraces language as a visual expressive form. Norman L. Kleeblatt is the Susan and Elihu Rose Chief Curator at the Jewish Museum. Mel Bochner is a New York-based artist. The Jewish Museum, New York (05/02/14–09/21/14)

    Abstract: "Heimatkunde" bezeichnet laut Duden die Geschichte, Geografie und Biologie einer engeren Nachbarschaft. Heimat ist ein emotionaler Begriff, der sehr vieles bedeuten kann: Geburtsort, Herkunftsland, Nation, Sprache, Religion. Ein bekannter Landstrich, Familie und Freunde, zu wissen, wo die Bäckerei, der Augenarzt, das Lieblingskino sind, das alles trägt zu dem Gefühl bei, das Hannah Arendt anlässlich eines Besuches im Berlin der ersten Nachkriegsjahre in das Bild von ihren Füßen fasste, die alleine wüssten, wohin sie gehen. Vertrautheit, unumstrittene Zugehörigkeit, aber auch das Recht zu jammern und zu klagen sind die Komponenten, die das "zu Hause" definieren. Heimatgefühl und Nationalbewusstsein sind nicht zwangsläufig identisch; die nationale Erzählung geht weit über die Intimität mit der unmittelbaren Umgebung hinaus. Für die deutsche Nationenbildung wird oft das Paradigma der Zerrissenheit angeführt, die Sehnsucht nach Einigkeit, politischer Freiheit und kollektivem Heldentum, die sich in Größenphantasien äußerte und in Weltkriegen, Staatsverbrechen und Teilungen mündete. Wir fragen uns, wie diese Gesellschaft nach der Vereinigung der beiden deutschen Staaten und dem Eingeständnis Deutschlands, ein Staat mit heterogener Bevölkerung zu sein, kollektive Selbstvergewisserung definiert. Mit den in der Ausstellung "Heimatkunde. 30 Künstler blicken auf Deutschland" versammelten Arbeiten thematisieren Künstler zentrale Aspekte ihrer Wahrnehmungen in und von Deutschland. The German dictionary defines "Heimatkunde" as the study of a particular locality̷s history, geography, and ecology. The word "Heimat" could be translated as "homeland," but it is a very specific and emotional concept that can mean many things: the place of one̷s birth, country of origin, nation, language, religion. A familiar stretch of countryside; family and friends; knowing where the bakery or the doctor̷s office or your favorite movie theater is̶all these contribute to the feeling that Hannah Arendt, visiting Berlin immediately after the war, captured in the image of her feet knowing the way without being told. Familiarity and unquestioned belonging, but also the right to grumble and criticize, are the components that make up "home." That feeling of being at home, of "Heimat," is not necessarily the same thing as the sense of nation: the narrative of nationhood goes far beyond the intimacy of our immediate environment. Descriptions of how the German nation came about often cite the paradigm of fragmentation, with the related longing for unity, political freedom, and collective heroism that found expression in megalomaniac fantasies and culminated in global wars, state crimes, and political divisions. Now that the two German states are unified and the new Germany has finally conceded it is a land with a heterogeneous population, we ask how this society defines and endorses its collective existence. In the works gathered here, thirty artists from forty-two countries address key aspects of their perceptions of Germany and in Germany.

    Keywords: Berlin ; Weimarer Republik ; Ausstellung ; Osteuropäische Juden
    Abstract: Berlin - Drehscheibe zwischen Ost und West - war bereits seit dem Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts, vor allem aber nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg, Zufluchtsort und Zwischenstation für Zehntausende von Juden aus Osteuropa, meist Kriegs-, Pogrom- oder Revolutionsflüchtlinge aus Russland, Litauen oder Galizien. Für mehr als ein Jahrzehnt wurde die Stadt zu einem Zentrum jüdischer Migration in Europa. Vielfältig vernetzt und in mehreren Sprachen zu Hause, bewirkten die Migranten aus dem Osten Europas eine Blüte jüdischer Kultur in Berlin und waren zugleich Teil des multikulturellen Stadtraums. Viele dieser, oft mittellosen, jüdischen Familien lebten im Scheunenviertel, nahe dem Alexanderplatz, andere im bürgerlichen Charlottenburg, das aufgrund des hohen russischen Anteils der Bevölkerung auch Charlottengrad genannt wurde. Die Ausstellung "Berlin Transit" erzählt anhand von Kunstwerken, Dokumenten, Fotos und Objekten vom Leben der Emigranten. Der reich bebilderte und durchgehend farbige Katalog begleitet die Ausstellung und vertieft ihre Themen in zehn Essays renommierter Wissenschaftler.

    Abstract: Artists in the Photo League, active from 1936 to 1951, were known for capturing sharply revealing, compelling moments from everyday life. Their focus entered on New York City and its vibrant streets a newsboy at work, a brass band on a bustling corner, a crowded beach at Coney Island. Though beautiful, the images harbor strong social commentary on issues of class, child labor, and opportunity. The Radical Camera explores the fascinating blend of aesthetics and social activism at the heart of the Photo League, tracing the group's left-leaning roots and idealism to the worker-photography movement in Europe. Influenced by mentors Lewis Hine, Berenice Abbott, and Paul Strand, artists in the Photo League worked within a unique complex comprising a school, a darkroom, a gallery, and a salon, in which photography was discussed as both a means for social change and an art form. The influence of 'the Photo League' artists on modern photography was enormous, ushering in the New York School. Presenting 150 works of the members of 'the Photo League' alongside complementary essays that offer new interpretations of the League's work, ideas, and pedagogy, this beautifully illustrated book features artists including Margaret Bourke-White, Sid Grossman, Morris Engel, Lisette Model, Ruth Orkin, Walter Rosenblum, Aaron Siskind, W. Eugene Smith, and Weegee, among many others.

    Abstract: Das Jüdische Museum Berlin zeigt die erste umfassende Ausstellung über das Gesamtwerk des Malers R. B. Kitaj nach dessen Tod 2007. Geliebte und Feinde, virile Lebensphasen und Zeiten physischer Gebrechlichkeit, Politik, Geschichte, Literatur, Philosophie und nicht zuletzt die Frage nach der Zugehörigkeit zum Judentum, die sich weder über die Religion noch über den Zionismus herstellt, sind die Puzzleteilchen, aus denen Kitaj seine eindrucksvollen Bilder und Collagen schuf. Unbeeindruckt vom Massengeschmack arbeitete er gegen die Mode der Abstraktion in den 1960er Jahren figurativ und gehörte zu den Wegbereitern der britischen Pop-Art, zusammen mit David Hockney, Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud und Leon Kossoff. Die Konfrontation mit der Geschichte des Massenmords an den europäischen Juden und die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Phänomen des Außenseiters provozierten ihn zu einer jüdischen Kunst der Moderne, die er "diasporisch" nannte, und die er farbenkräftig, motivreich und verrätselt entwarf. Heute befinden sich die Gemälde Kitajs in den bedeutenden Museen der Welt und in großen Privatsammlungen. Dank der großzügigen Unterstützung der Leihgeber, unter ihnen das Museum of Modern Art in New York, die Tate Gallery in London und die Sammlung Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, konnte diese Ausstellung realisiert werden. Sie zeigt mit ca. 65 Gemälden, sowie Druckgrafik und Zeichnungen einen Überblick über alle Perioden des umfangreichen Œuvres.

    Abstract: Jakob Steinhardt, who emigrated from Germany to Palestine with the rise of the Nazi regime, is best-known for his dramatic woodcuts. This wide-ranging exhibition presents his masterpieces in prints, drawings, and paintings. Following his arrival in Jerusalem in the mid-1930s, he became one of the city's leading artistic figures and a beloved teacher first in his own studio and then at the Bezalel School. His artworks reflect his sharp perceptions of his hometown in eastern Germany, bohemian life in interwar Berlin, the life of the Jews in Lithuania's remote villages, the neighborhoods of Jerusalem before and after the establishment of the State, and, alongside these, the biblical figures that accompanied him throughout his career. His expressive works clearly reflect his worldview, which saw art as a means of educating the public and of transmitting political and social messages. The exhibition acknowledges the bequest of the artist's works to the Israel Museum, through the generosity of his family.
