Hello, We would like to introduce a new publication by The Hebrew University Magnes press and The Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Behold the Man Jesus in Israeli Art By Amitai Mendelsohn<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Amitai+Mendelsohn.aspx?name=Amitai+Mendelsohn>
[http://www.magnes-press.com/NetisUtils/srvrutil_getImg.aspx?unitId=5037] Dr. Amitai Mendelsohn investigates the various appearances of the figure of Jesus in Israeli art as a significant, multifaceted and ever-present phenomenon. Through works by prominent artists from different generations, it discusses in depth the evolving attitudes of Jewish, Zionist pre-state, and Israeli art towards Jesus, from the second half of the nineteenth century until today: from artists laboring "In the shadow of the Cross" to artists who saw Jesus as a symbol of the rebirth of the Jewish people in the land of Israel, and artists whose engagement with Jesus is detached from the complex and fraught relations between Christianity and Judaism, and who see him as symbolizing the suffering artist. The book examines the different directions taken by Israeli artists in portraying the figure of Jesus, and proves the extent of this phenomena and its ever present importance. Dr. Amitai Mendelsohn is the Curator of Israeli Art in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. He holds an M.A. in Art History from the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and finished his Doctorate in Israeli Art in the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. His PhD. Thesis focused on the figure of Jesus in Jewish and Israeli Art.
