Souvenirs from Utopia: The Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem (1906-1932)Souvenirs from Utopia: The Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem (1906-1932)
Case Study No. 10
1/21/2020 to 5/29/2020
Every week, Tuesday-Friday, 11am-4pm, during the UC Berkeley Fall and Spring Semesters.
At the turn of the 20th century, under Ottoman rule, Jerusalem was rapidly developing into a center of Jewish cultural activities. The protagonists of this scene were, for the most part, recent East-European Jewish immigrants. They had been inspired to move to Palestine by the emerging Zionist movement, and were eager to shake off the oppressive conditions they had experienced under the Russian Empire.

An Archive of Archives: Roman Vishniac's Exhibition History | New York, 1971-72An Archive of Archives: Roman Vishniac's Exhibition History | New York, 1971-72
1/28/2020 to 5/29/2020
Every week, Tuesday-Friday, 11am-4pm, during the UC Berkeley Fall and Spring Semesters.
The Magnes acquired the Roman Vishniac Archive in 2018, thanks to an unprecedented gift by the late Mara Vishniac Kohn (1926-2018). The collection is comprised of thousands of original prints, negatives, and archival materials documenting the long international career of Roman Vishniac (1897-1990), a Russian-born modernist photographer most notable for documenting Eastern-European Jewish life in the years immediately preceding the Holocaust. Vishniac’s work has been celebrated in exhibitions and publications since the 1940s. The gift represents one of the most important acquisitions made by The Magnes since its founding in 1962, and one of inestimable value to UC Berkeley for insight and research into 20th-century East European Jewry, and beyond.
As this important collection is being painstakingly processed and documented, The Magnes is beginning to share new findings with the public. An archive of this magnitude is bound to reveal many discoveries, opening up new perspectives on the life and work of a globally recognized photographer, and allowing us to revisit some of the salient moments in his career. A veritable “archive of archives,” the collection also contains among its treasures substantial documentation of some of Vishniac’s early exhibitions.

In Real Times. Arthur Szyk: Art & Human Rights (1926-1951)In Real Times. Arthur Szyk: Art & Human Rights (1926-1951)
9/1/2020 to 12/18/2020
Every week, Tuesday-Friday, 11am-4pm, during the UC Berkeley Fall and Spring Semesters.
Born into a middle-class Polish Jewish family, Arthur Szyk (Łódź, Poland, 1894 – New Canaan, Connecticut, 1951) lived a life framed by two world wars, the collapse of European democracies, and the rise of totalitarianism. A refugee, he ultimately settled in the United States in 1940. Throughout his work as a miniature artist and political caricaturist, he used motifs drawn from religion, history, politics, and culture, pairing extraordinary craftsmanship with searing commentary on a diverse range of subjects including Judaism, the American Revolution, the Second World War, the Holocaust, and the founding of the State of Israel.
