Abstract

Objects relating to Jewish material, visual, and cultural art can be found throughout art history. Despite a wealth of research on these objects, they are barely visible in the art historical canon. This article uses this invisibility as an opportunity to highlight gaps in art history with regard to Jewish perspectives and research on antisemitism. It considers the new avenues for analysis and interpretation that the concept of Jewishness offers in relation to individual artefacts, as well as the methodological, theoretical and canon-forming structures of art history itself. The essay explicitly does not view Jewishness as an essentialist identity. Instead, Linda Nochlin's seminal feminist text Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? is used to highlight structural similarities in terms of identity constructions.
