Expressionismus und jüdische Identität. Jakob Steinhardt zwischen Kunst und Religion

In the last twenty years, the method of the so-called cultural transfers in the context of Jewish studies shows itself as very helpful, especially in the research of Jewish identity and cultural processes in general. The following article uses this method and the example of the well-known German- -Jewish painter and graphic artist Jakob Steinhardt, and the artists from his environment to examine the relationship between Expressionism and Jewish identity and their origins. The individual connections between the artists are analysed as well as their works and the reflection in the Zionist press.
