Traces of a Jewish Artist
Graphic artist, illustrator, painter, and cartoonist Rahel
Szalit (1888-1942) was among the best-known Jewish women artists in
Weimar Berlin. But after she was arrested by the French police and
then murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz, she was all but lost to
history, and most of her paintings have been destroyed or gone
missing. Drawing on a range of primary and secondary sources, this
biography recovers Szalit's life and presents a stunning collection
of her art.
Szalit was a sought-after artist. Highly regarded by art
historians and critics of her day, she made a name for herself with
soulful, sometimes humorous illustrations of Jewish and world
literature by Sholem Aleichem, Heinrich Heine, Leo Tolstoy, Charles
Dickens, and others. She published her work in the mainstream
German and Jewish press, and she ran in artists' and queer circles
in Weimar Berlin and in 1930s Paris. Szalit's fascinating life
demonstrates how women artists gained access to Jewish and
avant-garde movements by experimenting with different media and
genres.
This engaging and deeply moving biography explores the life,
work, and cultural contexts of an exceptional Jewish woman artist.
Complementing studies such as Michael Brenner's The Renaissance
of Jewish Culture in Weimar Germany , this book brings Rahel
Szalit into the larger conversation about Jewish artists,
Expressionism, and modern art.
