Before Chagall became Chagall, there was Yehuda Pen.
Join art historian Jennifer Stern for an illuminating lecture on Yehuda Pen, the first Russian artist to combine classical technique with Jewish subject matter drawn from everyday life. Pen’s Vitebsk art school became a cradle of Jewish modernism, nurturing talents such as Marc Chagall, El Lissitzky, and Solomon Yudovin.
