The Israel Museum presents "Jakob's Dream:" Steinhardt in Prints, Drawings, and Paintings.
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 masterful prints, drawings, and paintings. 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.
The exhibition acknowledges the bequest of the artist's works to the Israel Museum through the generosity of his family.
