Joel Meyerowitz: "New Year's Eve, NYC (Kiss Me, Stupid)," 1965, gelatin silver
print; gift of Selma er Gerald Lotenberg, 2000.

Alfred Stieglitz and others, who are all
included. While not necessarily related
to each other, they are often the leaders
of movements, the writers of manifestos.
They are amazing contributors to what
we now know as 20th-century art."
And although Judaism is not, of
course, the focus of the exhibit, the
inclusion of so many Jewish artists clari-
fies the larger context in which Jewish
artists have worked.

More Jewish Ties

In addition to those already mentioned,
Jewish artists represented in the exhibit
include Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein,
photographer Joel Meyerowitz, painter
Jules Olitski, painter Ad Reinhardt
(born Adolph Dietrich Reinhardt in
Buffalo, N.Y.), Abstract Expressionists
Adolph Gottlieb (who designed several
ark curtains for synagogues) and Franz
Kline, photographer Aaron Siskind, Op
artist Julian Stanczak and Pop painter
and sculptor Larry Rivers (born Larry
Grossberg in the Bronx in 1923).
All have stories to tell; here, then, are
a few to look out for:
Born in Hoboken, N.J., to wealthy
German Jewish parents, Alfred Stieglitz
was a pioneer in modern photography.
Included in the exhibition is one of his
most well-known photographs, The
Steerage (1907), which depicts prospec-
tive immigrants, some with tallit, on the
lower level of a ship in New York's har-
bor.
Philippe Halsman, a Latvian-born,
Parisian-established photographer of
fashion, intellectuals and celebrities, fled

the Nazis to America with the help of
acquaintance Albert Einstein, whose
most famous portrait was later taken
by the young photographer.
Born Chaim Jacob Lipchitz in 1891
in Lithuania, Cubist sculptor Jacques
Lipchitz established himself in Paris
until the German invasion caused
him to leave for New York. Taking
the advice of a Lubavitcher rabbi, he
wore tefillin and began praying daily.
"I daven every morning," he told
the Reconstructionist in 1974. "It is of
great help to me. First of all, it puts
me together with all my people. And
I am near to the Lord, the Almighty.
He gives me strength for the day. ... I
could not live anymore without it."
Lipchitz is buried in Jerusalem.
Abraham Walkowitz was born in
Siberia in 1878. His father, a rabbi
and cantor, died while ministering to
Jewish soldiers in China, and
Walkowitz was raised in the Jewish
ghetto on New York City's Lower East
Side, where his drawings of ghetto life
were published in local newspapers.
He once said he did more drawings
of Isadora Duncan "than I have hairs
on my head." One is included in this
exhibition. 0
