JEWISH ARTISTS WHO SHOOK THE WORLD WORLD

They came for the Promised Land, but shaped a new Artistic Universe

Welcome to the two-part journey into the world of Jewish artists who changed the face of European Art forever!

Imagine young men and women mainly (but not only!) 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.
In these sessions, we’ll dive into their stories — how they overcame obstacles, found their way into the heart of Paris’s vibrant art scene, and created groundbreaking masterpieces that still leave us in awe today.
Whether you’ve admired their art for years or are just discovering their work, I’m excited to take you through this fascinating and inspiring chapter of Modern Art History.
