Chagall and Artists of the Russian Jewish Theater, 1919-1949

A fascinating exhibition, Chagall and Artists of the Russian Jewish Theater, 1919-1949 just closed at the Jewish Museum, N.Y.C. but fortunately moves on to the Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco (April 25-September 7, 2009; the exhibition catalog is distributed by Yale University Press).  It tells the little-known story of the two Jewish theater companies in Moscow that received state sponsorship under the young Soviet government.
