We're also pleased to share positive reviews of the exhibition In Real Times. Arthur Szyk & Human Rights (1926-1951), currently on view at the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life at UC Berkeley (more on the exhibition and visiting hours here).
In her recent article "Political Art for These Times: The Whole Megillah," Shelley S. Hebert writes, "While many associate Szyk with his famous Haggadah, the spirit of his work is perfect for Purim. It invites us to look very closely at a multi-layered story of history, humanity, power, human rights and politics. It is the whole megillah for our era and another reason why In Real Times is a message we cannot ignore." Check out the rest of Hebert's article at The Times of Israel here.
