W teatrze świata
Monografia Justyny Budzik wprowadza do historii sztuki (nie tylko polskiej) postać nietuzinkową, wyraźnie niedocenioną, skromnie pozostającą poza modnymi nurtami współczesności. Twórczość Elżbiety Wittlin Lipton jest przykładem oddziaływania inspiracji wielokulturowych, interdyscyplinarnych, wyjątkowo złożonych i jednocześnie gotowych do nieustannego dialogu. Dzięki temu dzieła artystki stają się uniwersalne, inspirujące i poruszają wyobraźnię. […] Analizy i interpretacje projektów są najlepszą częścią całej monografii. Celne, znakomicie napisane, osadzone w kontekście historii sztuki i dziejów wielu krajów, zdradzają znakomitą wiedzę i erudycję Autorki, a także jej szczególną wrażliwość wizualną i plastyczną. Badaczka świetnie radzi sobie z analizą dzieł plastycznych i potrafi wydobyć z nich niezwykle interesujące i cenne znaczenia. Książka Justyny Budzik W teatrze świata. Ojczyzny artystyczne Elżbiety Wittlin Lipton to praca wartościowa, która w sposób oryginalny, twórczy i kompetentny poszerza naukowy opis ważnego problemu badawczego. Z recenzji prof. dr. hab. Janusza Pasterskiego, Uniwersytet Rzeszowski
Gender, Orientalism and the Jewish Nation
Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874-1925) was one of the most important Jewish artists of modern times. As a successful illustrator, photographer, painter and printer, he became the first major Zionist artist. Surprisingly there has been little in-depth scholarly research and analysis of Lilien's work available in English, making this book an important contribution to historical and art-historical scholarship. Concentrating mainly on his illustrations for journals and books, Lynne Swarts acknowledges the importance of Lilien's groundbreaking male iconography in Zionist art, but is the first to examine Lilien's complex and nuanced depiction of women, which comprised a major dimension of his work. Lili...

The symposium covers Europe, the Middle East, and North America from the 18th century to the 21st.
Samuel Hirszenberg, 1865–1908
Samuel Hirszenberg is an artist who deserves to be more widely known: his work intertwined modernism and Jewish themes, and he influenced later artists of Jewish origin. Born into a traditional Jewish family in Łódź in 1865, Hirszenberg gradually became attached to Polish culture and language as he pursued his artistic calling. Like Maurycy Gottlieb before him, he studied at the School of Art in Kraków, which was then headed by the master of Polish painting, Jan Matejko. His early interests were to persist with varying degrees of intensity throughout his life: his Polish surroundings, traditional east European Jews, historical themes, the Orient, and the nature of relationships between m...
Reclaiming Biblical Heroines
Although recently more studies have been devoted to the representations of Biblical heroines in modern European art, less is known about the contribution to the portrayals of Biblical women by modern Jewish artists. This monograph explores why and how heroines of the Scripture: Judith, Esther and the Shulamite received a particular meaning for acculturated Jewish artists originating from the Polish lands in the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first two decades of the twentieth century. It convincingly proves that artworks by Maurycy Gottlieb, Wilhem Wachtel, Ephraim Moses Lilien, Maurycy Minkowski, Samuel Hirszenberg and Boris Schatz significantly differed from renderings of contemporary non-Jewish artists, adopting a "Jewish perspective", creating complex and psychological portrayals of the heroines inspired by Jewish literature and as well as by historical and cultural phenomena of Jewish revival and the cultural Zionism movement.
