| Résumé : | What does Jesus - for centuries regarded by Jews as a taboo - have to do with Israeli art? This publication offers a close look at a rarely discussed subject: the presence of Jesus in the work of Jewish and Israeli artists, demonstrating how lack of belief in the divinity of Christ did not prevent them from identifying with Jesus the man. Beginning with the European painters Maurycy Gottlieb and Marc Chagall, through such pillars of Israeli art as Reuven Rubin, Igael Tumarkin, Moshe Gershuni, and Menashe Kadishman, to a prominent contemporary generation that includes Adi Nes and Sigalit Landau, the works of these artists and many others are examined through the prism of the figure of Jesus. Their engagement takes multiple approaches: for some, Jesus represented the victimization of the Jew by Christian anti-Semites; some interpreted the story of his resurrection as a symbol of Jewish national rebirth; and others related to the universal ethical messages he preached. The image of an outcast, tormented Jesus battling the establishment served as a model for socio-political protest and for personal identification. And in some cases, his dual nature in Christianity - both frail human and sovereign of the universe, the incarnation of abstract divinity - paralleled the tension between the suffering involved in the creative process and its promise of redemption and immortality. |
