When the Ben Uri Jewish Art Society was fo-ed in during the first world war by the refugee artist Berson and some of his Whitechapel friends. they could not have foreseen that 35 years later the Ben Uri would, through the fact that it has dL IJermanent gallery| be able tO house this Anglo-Jewish Art Exhibition arranged in connection with the Festival of Britain. One only wishes that its premises were larger. to have allowed for more examples to be shown of the artists who have worked in Anglo-Jewry during these hundred years. But within the limits of the space, the examples that are being shown here testify to the place and the importance of the artist in Anglo-Jewish life. one hopes that the community will be so impressed by these exhibits that it will support the work of the Ben Uri, to enable it at a later date to organise a larger and more comprehensive showing of the works of the Anglo-Jewish artists. The-first comprehensive Jewish Art Exhibition held in this country was in l906 at the lhThitechapel Art Gallery. ..Never before." vIOte the Jew.ch War/d, ®I has there been a collection of pictures by Jewish artists. and we may say that the whitechapel Exhibition has definitely settled the place of in the pictorial and plastic arts." The Anglo-Jewish Exhibition at the Albert Hall in l887 had not attempted an exhibition of the work of Jewish artists. It had paintings and draw- ings. engravings and caricatures. but they were mearlt to show portraits of Anglo- Jewish worthies. rather than creative art. Another important exhibition of the work of Jewish artists was held in Glasgow in February' 195l. as part of the Glasgow Festival of Jewish Arts. But both at Whitechapel and in Glasgow there were not only Anglo-Jewish artists, but also what M. H. Spielmann called a.a number of foreign artists of repute who have joined their English brethren to stiffen their ranks." The present Exhibition is designed to show the contribution of Jewish artists living and working all or most of their life in Great Britain and the British Donrinions. The earliest Anglo-Jewish artist seems to have been Abraham Ezekiel, bom in l757. in . where he died in l806. According to Joseph Jacobs. he engraved paintings by Reynolds. Opie and others, and was also known as a miniature painter. Cecil Roth calls him '. the eminent miniature painter and engraver." Another English engraver was Solomon Bennett. who was bom in Russia.. before l780." but spent the latter part of his life in Bristol. He was also a theologian. who began to publish a completely revised translation of the English Bible in l84l. but abandoned the project after only two numbers had appeared. His '' Temple of Ezekiel" contains a portrait of himself which he engraved after a painting by Frazer. But the first important Anglo-Jewish artist was Solomon Alexander Hart. who most of his life in London and died here, and he and his daughter, orovida was bom in plymouth in l806. the year of Abraham Ezekiel's death. It is of Pissarro. are counted among the Anglo-Jewish painters.

Hart was the first Jewish R.A., being elected Other Anglo-Jewish artists of the early twentieth century include J. H. in 1840. He was in l854-l863 Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy' and Amshewitz, Henry Ospovat, Isaac Snowman, Frank Emanuel, Albert Rutherston, in l864 became Librarian to the Royal Academy.
