Hermann Struck: Jewish Zionist Artist - The New Collection

This comprehensive exhibition presents about two hundred works by Hermann Struck from the Museum's collections. The works reflect the two main themes that engaged Struck's interest: the human image and landscape - themes that complement each other. Struck's Jewish-Zionist world view is represented in the exhibition's different sections, which concern humanity and landscape in Israel, portraits of celebrities from the artist's cultural environment, and Jewish existence in the East European small cities and shtetls.

In addition, the exhibition presents scenes of war and destruction from Struck's military service during World War I in Eastern Europe, views from his travels around the world, and more. Struck's impressive mastery of graphic art techniques, in which he was a virtuoso, is clearly conveyed in the exhibition's works.
