Despite Picasso’s immense fame, few people know that he was profoundly nurtured by his Jewish lovers, friends, colleagues and patrons, and that he developed a deep sense of Jewish values that shaped his worldview and guided his paintbrush. He supported Zionist causes and openly fought injustice and antisemitism through his artwork, once even declaring “My painting is Jewish painting.”  Join Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in New York, to explore the untold story of this legendary genius and the critical Jewish influences that catapulted him to the pinnacle of the 20th century art world.

Dr. Burghardt is a journalist and author from New York.  As the daughter of two Holocaust survivors from Vienna, her work has always been guided by her heritage.
