The artists - Moša Pijade, Daniel Kabiljo, Adolf Weiller, Bora Baruh, Daniel Ozmo, Ivan Rein and Johanna Lutzer - were characterized by multiple and changeable identities: nationalist and universalist, Zionist and Sephardic, communist and cosmopolitan.    These fluctuating identities found expression in their art, as did their wartime fate as refugees, camp inmates, partisans and survivors. A wealth of newly-discovered images, diaries and letters highlight this little-known aspect of Jewish life and art in Yugoslavia, illuminating a turbulent era that included integration into a newly-founded country, the catastrophe of the Holocaust, and renewal in its aftermath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  xi  List of Illustrations  Note on Personal Names    Introduction    Part 1: In Search of an Identity: Sephardic, Zionist, Yugoslav  Introduction to Part 1    1 From Dorćol to Paris and Back: Moša Pijade’s Self-Portraits   1 Coming of Age in Belgrade   2 Fin-de-siècle Munich   3 The Bohemian Paris   4 Pijade’s Self-Portraits: In Search of an Identity    2 Sarajevo’s Multiculturalism: Daniel Kabiljo’s Sephardic Types   1 Between East and West   2 Bosnian Artist or Yugoslav Zionist?   3 Choosing Sides   4 Kabiljo’s Sephardic Types    3 A Croatian Zionist: Adolf Weiller between the East European Shtetl and the Lure of Nature   1 Becoming a “Jewish Artist”   2 The Lure of Nature    Part 2: From Avant-Garde to Political Activism  Introduction to Part 2    4 Bora Baruh’s Refugees   1 “Four Mahaneh Portraits”   2 The Early Works   3 Paris: A Painter and a Revolutionary   4 Painting Refugees   5 Two Directions: The “Art for Art’s Sake” and the Socially Engaged Art    5 Ivan Rein’s Paris: From the Quartier Latin to Camp Vernet   1 Growing Up in an Affluent and Acculturated Jewish-Catholic Family   2 The Croatian School of Painting   3 Rein’s Paris   4 Social Awareness and Political Protest   5 Letters to Cuca: On Being Jewish, Yugoslav, and Universal on the Eve of WWII    6 The Ethnic and Universal Avante-Garde: Daniel Ozmo’s Linocuts   1 A Bosnian Sephardic Artist in Belgrade   2 Discussing “Jewish Art” in the 1930’s: Between Racial Traits and Human Values   3 Social Content and Expressionist Form   4 Sarajevo’s Avant-Garde: Collegium Artisticum    Part 3: “We Artists Have to Paint”: Art Created during the War and the Holocaust  Introduction to Part 3    7 Bora Baruh in Occupied Belgrade: Images of Jewish and Christian Mourning   1 Bombing of Belgrade and Persecution of the Jews   2 Painting Portraits   3 Refugees on Ruins    8 Art in Jasenovac: Daniel Ozmo and the Artists of the Ceramic Workshop   1 The Destruction of Sarajevo’s Jewish Community and Daniel Ozmo’s Arrest   2 The Jasenovac Camp and the Ceramic Workshop   3 Ozmo’s Depictions of Forced Labor   4 Slavko Bril   5 Portraits and Landscapes   6 Ozmo’s End    9 Refugee and Artist: Ivan Rein, Johanna Lutzer, and Jewish Cultural Life in Kraljevica   1 Escaping to the Adriatic Coast   2 Being a Refugee in Kraljevica   3 Ivan Rein’s Refugee Art   4 The Kraljevica—Porto Re Camp   5 Ivan Rein’s Drawings Created in the Kraljevica Camp   6 Johanna Lutzer: A Jewish Artist from Vienna    10 The Rab Island Camp: From Internment to Freedom    Part 4: Producing Art for Partisans: Creativity between Ideology and Survival  Introduction to Part 4    11 Bora Baruh as a Partisan, 1941–1942    12 Johanna Lutzer: Jewish Refugees with the Partisans in Croatia    13 Postscript: Jewish Artists as National Heroes, Victims of Fascism, and Holocaust Survivors    Conclusion    Bibliography    Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210781090135,"sku":"9789004408852","price":173.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/fragile-images-jews-and-art-in-yugoslavia-1918-1945-9789004408852","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
