Still More Distant Journeys: The Artistic Emigrations of Lasar Segall

The first major U.S. retrospective of the work of Lasar Segall, Still More Distant Journeys explores the artist's changing cultural and artistic identities as demonstrated in more than 224 works, including paintings, watercolors, prints, drawings, and ephemera. Lasar Segall is considered a key figure in the development of both German Expressionism and Brazilian modernism. Documenting the Diaspora of the Jews and embodying notions of "exoticism" and "primitivism" in modern art, Segall's work presents a range of issues significant to today's global culture and politics.
