Jewish Identity in Modern Art History

This is a sometimes interesting collection of academic articles on 'Jewish Identity in modern art history'. It is very far however from being ' comprehensive' and at times its choice of subjects seems quite arbitrary. It does not address in a full way the question of why so many of the great modern art- historians from Panofsky and Aby Warburg through Meir Shapiro and Moshe Barasch were of Jewish origin. Nor does it give sufficient mind and attention to the one 'modern Jewish artist' (Chagall) who it seems to me ( and to most others) towers above all other Jewish visual artists. Of most interest to me was the general introductory remarks by the editor Catherine Sousloff, and Larry Silver on Maurcy Gottlieb.
