Women’s Week at the Museum / Guided tour of the exhibition Year Zero / The Female Portrait (in Hebrew)

On the eve of World War II, Dr. Karl Schwarz, the first director of Tel Aviv Museum, embarked on a final, desperate trip to Europe, hoping to rescue a work of art he had seen in his youth in Berlin. He traced the artwork in Amsterdam, and persuaded its owner to send it to Tel Aviv. This painting and thousands of others saved by Schwarz between 1933 and 1945, became the nucleus of the museum's Modern Art Collection. The exhibition, featuring works by Alexander Archipenko, Marc Chagall, and Käthe Kollwitz, recounts these stories on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.

This tour will focus on representations of women within the exhibition. From portraits of prominent women, through intimate depictions of women, to women artists who portrayed themselves with their own brush, we will examine different modes of female portraiture in the first half of the 20th century.
