Isaac Bashevis Singer and His Artists

MAY 3 – AUGUST 28, 2011

Born in Poland around 1903 and educated by his Hasidic rabbi father, Isaac Bashevis Singer, winner of the 1978 Nobel Prize for Literature, immigrated to the U.S. in 1935 and lived part of his life in Surfside, north of Miami Beach, FL. Writing in Yiddish, he spun tales that unleashed a rich storehouse of Jewish popular imagination, interweaving everyday life with wonders emerging from dreams and nightmares.
