This site is a companion to a show at the Jewish Museum that presents the work of Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani. "An anomaly among the many foreign Jewish artists who lived in Paris during the early 1900s, Modigliani remained independent of any movement or style, and was known primarily for his reclining nudes and portraits with elegantly elongated features." The site features annotated images of over a dozen paintings and sculptures. http://www.thejewishmuseum.org/site/pages/onlinex.php?id=22 Topics: Art by Region, Artists, Judaism, Notable People: Arts & Humanities, Schools of Art Last updated Mar 25, 2005 Entertaining America: Jews, Movies, and Broadcasting

This online exhibit explores these discussions through illustrated commentaries on themes such as "Yiddish Film and Radio," "Hollywood's Jewish Question," and "Seinfeld." Includes related links. From the Jewish Museum, New York. http://www.jewishmuseum.org/online/ Topics: History, Judaism Last updated Mar 27, 2005 From The New Yorker to Shrek: The Art of William Steig
