Ben Shahn, born in Kaunas, Lithuania, was the son of a Jewish woodcarver and anti-Czarist organizer. He came to the US after his father was exiled for revolutionary activity - and never forgot it.  “Ben Shahn: On Nonconformity” at the Jewish Museum in Manhattan display a delightful sample of Shahn’s work: posters he created while directing the Graphic Arts Division at the newly formed Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and participating in the antifascist efforts of the Office of War Information (OWI); photos he took for the Resettlement Administration/Farm Security Administration (RA/FSA) showing the plight and strength of American farmers during the Dust Bowl; and political cartoons for the Progressive Party poking fun at politicians. These are presented alongside an impressive swath of his paintings, from surreal dreamscapes memorializing the horrors of the Holocaust to flame-engulfed monsters that raise alarm about the dangers of nuclear warfare to bittersweet reflections on the beauty of everyday life. The final gallery shows his late-in-life foray into Hebrew lettering, including illustrations of classic Jewish texts, which at once offer tender comfort to their viewers and invoke the cosmic eternity of God’s power.  But in barely mentioning his New Deal murals, we miss out on learning about Shaun’s deep sense of community and solidarity, and the tradition of leftist (often, Jewish) art that he comes out of.  I have a LOT more to say (as you can imagine!) on Diego Rivera, Philip Guston, and the CIA (where did I put my tinfoil hat??) Please leave your thoughts, because I’m not done…. :) #benshahn #art #painter #modernart #arthistory #mural #publicart #politicalart #printmakingart #drawing #cia
