Symposium - Montreal Jewish Life: The Thirties and Forties
The Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies in collaboration with the McCord Museum is organizing a symposium on Montreal Jewish culture and art, as a complement to the McCord's painting exhibition, Jewish Painters of Montreal: Witnesses of Their Time, 1930-1948.
This will bring together a range of specialists on subjects such as literature, social history, art and music to discuss the period in which the painters created the work on display in the museum. It will also include a screening of Garry Beitel's movie Chez Schwartz, and will focus on aspects of the McCord's collection that relate to Montreal Jewish history.
The dates of the symposium will be April 29 and 30, 2010, with a keynote talk on the evening of the 29 by Esther Trépanier, curator of the exhibition and Director of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.
The detailed program of the symposium will be available soon.
