Abstract (en)

Deals with two consequences of the image prohibition in Jewish art: the ongoing use by Jewish artists of the alephbet, and the recurring tension with the figural image resulting in a fascination for abstract forms. Among the artists discussed are Ben Shahn, Beth Ames Swartz and Barnet Newman.
