Curator Talk: “Art of Freedom: The Life & Work of Arthur Szyk”

December 1 @ 7:00 pm

Over his decades-long career as an artist, Arthur Szyk emerged as a powerful voice in the fight for freedom, justice, and democracy. As a Polish-born Jew and an immigrant to the United States, he advocated for European Jewry, calling the world to action during the Holocaust while his anti-Nazi illustrations rallied Americans to the war effort. The Museum’s newest exhibition of Szyk’s stunning works, Art of Freedom: The Life & Work of Arthur Szyk, opens on December 7, 2025. Join Irvin Ungar, the world’s foremost expert on the art of Arthur Szyk and the tireless force behind the Szyk renaissance, and Sara Softness, the Museum’s Director of Curatorial Affairs, for a discussion about the new exhibition and how it reveals the way creativity can be harnessed to fight for freedom and stand against antisemitism.
