For over 200 years, the Jewish community has contributed to the development of Quebec and the city of Montreal in many ways. The exhibition, Jewish Painters of Montreal – Witnesses of their Time, 1930-48, on display at the McCord Museum until May 2, masterfully captures a dark era in world history and its impact on Montreal’s Jewish community. Through the eyes of these painters, we glimpse their experiences.

The exhibition was produced and organized by the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. QJC cooperated in the Montreal launch of the exhibit. A message from QJC can be found on the McCord Museum website.

QJC would like to thank the McCord Museum, the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition feminine du Québec, as well as the Musée Nationale des Beaux Arts de Québec for sharing this exhibit with all Montrealers.
