Jewish Painters of Montreal at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾

Join the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Visual Arts Collection and the Student Affairs Liaison for Jewish Students for a special guided tour focused on the Jewish Painters of Montreal, a remarkable group of artists who helped shape the city’s cultural identity in the mid-twentieth century. Through selected works from the Collection, this tour will highlight how these artists captured the social landscape of their time. Participants will also be invited to consider the artwork itself as a primary document, tracing its journey from the artist’s studio, through the hands of collectors and patrons, to its eventual place within an institutional collection. Discover how each painting tells not only the story of its subject, but also the layered histories of those who created, valued, and preserved it.
