Remarks on the Jewish Art Colony in Kazimierz Dolny

Magdalena Cześniak-Zielińska



Abstract

Kazimierz Dolny (Kuzmir) was visited and painted by many artists. Before 1914, and during the interwar period, there had been a lot of Jews among the artists, and the art colo-ny of Kazimierz Dolny became one of the most important and popular places among them. However, there never was anything like a strictly Jewish artistic colony or Jewish artistic community in Kazimierz Dolny and there never was exactly a Polish colony. So, it is easier to speak about artists-Jews in Kazimierz Dolny’s artistic colony or Kazimierz Dolny’s artis-tic circle than about a “national” or “ethnic” colony. The boundaries among particular groups were flexible and it was not the nationality that defined those boundaries.

Keywords:

Kazimierz Dolny, the Jewish artistic environment, painting, the interwar period, Jewish art
