Reviews
The works of eleven artists were displayed at the Congress, and Schmidt's book is chiefly devoted to biographies of these artists and discussions of their artistic achievements. . . . . The author has done a commendable job of collecting material on all these artists, ranging from encyclopedia articles to contemporary critical comments.

Synopsis
Martin Buber and friends successfully lobbied the congress for inclusion of cultural Zionism into the official agenda of the Zionist organization, resulting in the establishment of the Bezalel Art Institute in Jerusalem in 1905. In the first book of its kind, Gilya Gerda Schmidt places this art exhibition in the context of political Zionism as well as anti-Semitism. Jews had been denied the opportunity to be creative, and religious Zionists feared that Jewish culture would usurp religion within the Zionist movement. Hermann Struck, an artist and Orthodox Jew, became a founding member of the religious Zionist Party, further supporting Buber's assertion that culture and religion were not at odds. The forty-eight works of art in the exhibition were created by eleven artists, all but two of whom were famous in their lifetime. Until now, their works had been largely forgotten. In the last decade, contributing artists--Ephraim Lilien, Lesser Ury, Jozef Israels, Struck, and Maurycy Gottlieb--have enjoyed a revival of their work., Illuminating the Jewish art exhibition at the Fifth Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland, in 1901, this study looks at its contributions to art and Jewish history and culture. Cultural Zionism was for the first time included into the official agenda, an important step for the politics of Zionism., Martin Buber and friends successfully lobbied the congress for inclusion of cultural Zionism into the official agenda of the Zionist organization, resulting in the establishment of the Bezalel Art Institute in Jerusalem in 1905.
