Interwar works by Izrael Lejzerowicz in the context of the “new art” milieu’s accomplishments in Łódź
Journal Title: Art Inquiry. Recherches sur les arts - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The article attempts to demonstrate associations between works by Izrael Lejzerowicz and avant-garde artists working in Łódź during the interwar period. Lejzerowicz's painting is sometimes connected with a trend called Jewish Expressionism, although many of his works are closer to Symbolism or even to naturalism. However, this text concerns only those artist’s paintings and drawings that reveal his fascination with new directions in the art of the first half of the twentieth century: Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism and even Constructivism.
