The 3 Jewish -Bergs, Gay Mohammed Rejected Again

May 1st, 2008 by Menachem Wecker

  • [NY Jewish Week] Greenberg and Rosenberg were “modern art’s chief proponents in America,” as the Jewish Museum’s current show argues. But what about the third Jewish art historian with the -berg last name?

  • [Dallas Morning News] Vladimir Grigorenko is slowly but surely finishing his 8-year painting project (8 - 10 hours per day, 6 days a week!) at St. Seraphim Orthodox Cathedral. “Trying to find the universal or real art, I came to church art,” he said. “And the icons brought me to the church and to Christ.”
  • [Chicago Sun-Times] Tony Fitzpatrick, pictured, is an atheist artist who carries a St. Theresa card to memorialize his dad. “The Catholics never let you forget you were going to die someday,” he says.
  • [Boston Herald] It took a “chance visit” from Moura Carvalho, an Indian and Islamic art expert, to recognize the full significance of a tapestry Isabella Stewart Gardner bought as a “leg warmer.” It’s nice to see the museum which still hangs empty frames where its stolen art once hung find a gem in its own collection.
  • [NIS News, HT: Infidels are Cool] Sooreh Hera’s gay Mohammed has been rejected from a third exhibit. IAC writes:

    So apparently, museums are okay with exhibits where the cross is dipped in urine, but showing muhamhead doing things muslims do is wrong and offensive. Of course we all know that only the most insane Christian would retaliate against the ‘Piss Christ’ exhibit with violence. We would much rather wait, and let the imbecile who thinks it’s art, face the wrath of God.

  • [Reuters] Amsterdam’s Jewish Historical Museum has “Yinglish” on the brain in the show Superheroes and Schlemiels.
