Artist R.B. Kitaj, who often shows the political and social effects of contemporary culture in his pictures, partly with reference to historical events and their manipulation and consumption via the mass media, discusses "How to Reach 71 in Jewish Art."
Kitaj’s paintings and drawings can be found in the collections of most major art museums throughout the United States and Europe, and his book, “First Diasporist Manifesto,” is a seminal work exploring issues of Jewish identity in a post-Holocaust world.
Kitaj is closely identified with “The School of London,” a term used to describe the various London-based artists devoted to representations of the figure.
A reception at 3:30 p.m. precedes the lecture while commentaries by Selma Holo, director of the USC Fisher Gallery, and David Myers, director of the UCLA Center for Jewish Studies, follow.
Seating is limited for this event, so advance reservations are required.
The Jerome Nemer Lecture Series was created in 1980 to explore the contributions of Jewish thinkers to Western intellectual life.
