Wędrówki żydowskich malarzy. Pomiędzy Monachium, Paryżem i Berlinem

Abstract

The article presents some reflections on Jewish painters of the 19th and 20th centuries. Many artists to be chose as a place of study one of the well-known private studios, such as the school of Simon Hollosy, the school of Anton Ažbe, Wilhelm von Debschitz – a school of fine arts and applied arts. Another difficulty was deciphering which of the Jewish student books listed in the list could be the subject of my considerations. This dilemma faces everyone who deals with painting and tries to look at it from the point of view of the national community of its authors. The question then arises as to which of the Jewish students from pre-partition Poland should be included among Poles or which should be addressed as Polish – Jewish. In only a few cases, there is an individual declaration of nationality, not so much with relationships with Polish culture and history, though. However, they all thrived and created their art in the atmosphere of bohemian Munich.
