NUMBER 36 WINTER 2013 jewishmuseummilwaukee.org President’s Message ‘10 Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century’ by Andy Warhol By Penny Deshur, President have a passion for genealogy and have been searching for my family roots for the past thirty years, beginning with 50 known family members and expanding to thousands. When my grandparents were alive I never asked about their lives, and by the time I was interested in the subject, they were gone. Now I am compelled to pass my family’s history to my children and grandchildren so they know where they came from. JMM offers many opportunities for YOU to become involved in this important endeavor… I By Molly Dubin, Curator ore than thirty years after the suite was first created, this grouping of ‘Jewish Geniuses,’ as Warhol fittingly referred to them, is still sparking debate among art critics, historians and connoisseurs. Warhol, one of the most important artists in the Pop Art movement in America, became as famous as many of the celebrities he portrayed in his popular silkscreen prints. Depicting noted individuals from various disciplines, these brightly-colored creations feature historical figures and renowned luminaries of Jewish culture. Large scale portraits of Sarah Bernhardt, Louis Brandeis, Martin Buber, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, George Gershwin, Franz Kafka, the Marx Brothers, Golda Meir, and Gertrude Stein, allude to the grandiosity associated with fame while establishing an intimacy between subject and viewer. In the second millennium, Warhol’s iconic images of great Jewish thinkers, politicians, performers, and writers attest to the lasting achievements and prominence of these singular figures. But issues at the foundation of the controversy surrounding the pieces, such as whether Warhol genuinely recognized the importance of his subjects’ diverse accomplishments and legacies, or if he was engaging in ‘Jewploitation’, remain firmly rooted. While the initial reception of the series was certainly affected by the context and time in which they were created, the longevity and continued relevance of the images also call into question their place and perception amid contemporary generations and standards. M This exhibit is on loan from the collection of the Spertus Institute and is sponsored by Suzy B. Ettinger. • On the Museum website I maintain the burial database covering nearly 30,000 Jewish burials throughout Wisconsin.

Warhol’s portrait suite was received with both critical acclaim and some decidedly negative responses on its debut in 1980. This illustrated lecture will revisit that debut and examine the series itself, its place in Warhol’s art, and analyze why it provoked such a wide response. Yood, who was educated at the University of Wisconsin – Madison and the University of Chicago, sees the series as indicative of much of Warhol’s art— seemingly simple and straightforward, but surprisingly pertinent and provocative.
