Join art historian Rachel Spiegel Gerstein to learn about the Wadsworth’s new Jewish Art & Culture Research Project. In this initiative, artworks from across the permanent collection are examined through the lens of the Jewish experience, that is, considering Jews as a religious, ethnic, and cultural minority.
Hear Gerstein’s insights into Deborah Kass’s painting "Single Red Yentl (My Elvis)", in which the artist blends personal history with art historical tropes to challenge our assumptions about identity and beauty.
