Wicked: 20th Century Lessons from the Art of the Wicked Child
Forget the food, family and texts – Passover night is the night of Jewish Art, with the generations of artistic renditions of the Four Children and illuminated Haggadot serving a central role in the Passover experience. Taking an in-depth look at the Art of the four children, and specifically on the wicked child in 20th century art, provides a powerful re-telling of modern Jewish stories, ideas and politics in an accessible and surprising way.
