Jewish Art and Yiddish Art History: Leo Koenig's Renesans

Grafen, Alex; Pimlott, William

2022 Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies

doi:

<p>Abstract:</p><p>Through the 1920 Yiddish little magazine <i>Renesans</i>, Leo Koenig aimed to articulate a specifically Jewish art. His objective was to foster the conditions of its creation, to identify the ways in which it was being created, and to interpret its history. <i>Renesans</i> crystallized a set of priorities for the Jewish artistic present, the criteria for success, and a projected future. Koenig has been credited as the first art critic in Yiddish; we propose that Koenig&apos;s combined work as editor, author, and theorist should also be understood as a key example of Yiddish art history.</p><p>Our introduction of the term <i>Yiddish art history</i> is intended to draw attention to the lively theorization of Jewish art in Yiddish and as part of Yiddishist and cultural nationalist projects in the Eastern European Jewish diaspora. Koenig&apos;s work in <i>Renesans</i> is not just a suitable object of study for this field; we argue that Koenig was himself developing Yiddish art history, attempting a fusion of discourse and artwork with the aim of creating a Jewish national consciousness.</p><p>Koenig&apos;s biography is explored as a means of understanding the ideas and art movements that would influence <i>Renesans</i>. The contents of the journal are then analyzed to show how Koenig aimed to curate and define his conception of Jewish art. This attempt is contextualized with its local reception in the London Yiddish press, and its limitations are explored in relation to Koenig&apos;s theoretical writing itself.</p>

Albert Einstein and "The Case of Juda Leman": From Yiddish Physics to Hollywood

Chad, Jordan A.

2022 Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies

doi:

<p>Abstract:</p><p>This paper analyzes the complex personal relationship between Albert Einstein and his protégé Juda Leman (1899–1975). Leman was one of Einstein&apos;s private <i>Ostjude</i> students in Berlin and became a leading popularizer of physics for Jews in the 1920s, in part through the composition of physics books in Yiddish. However, while Einstein strongly encouraged Leman to pursue a career in teaching physics, Leman instead chose to attempt a career as a Hollywood screenwriter. This decision led to a deterioration of the Einstein-Leman relationship and presented Einstein with what he called "the case of Juda Leman." The current paper aims to dissect this "case" by examining the sociological forces that shaped Leman&apos;s life trajectory. While Leman did not become the physicist that Einstein hoped for, this paper asserts that Leman&apos;s life mirrored the changing circumstances of many Jews and writers over the course of the twentieth century.</p>
