In the first half of the twentieth century, the French capital was a magnet for artists from around the world. With Paris Magnétique. 1905–1940, the Jewish Museum Berlin presents the first major exhibition in Germany devoted to Jewish artists of the School of Paris. Featuring around 120 works in ten sections, the exhibition traces how migrant, often marginalized perspectives from the Parisian avant-garde have influenced today’s understanding of Western modernist art. On show will be works by famous and lesser-known artists, including Marc Chagall, Amedeo Modigliani, Chana Orloff, Sonia Delaunay, and Jacques Lipchitz.
