The Art as a Peace Aim: Setting up. Art and Judaism

Abstract

The relationship established between art and peace is not only thematic. There is an extraordinary similarity and connection in the modes of execution of both concepts, which allows us to rethink any historical or cultural moment in which they seem to ally. This article reviews these forms of application and focuses on one of those cultural moments as an example, Judaism. The relationship between art, peace and Judaism, is framed from its origins by the religious differential fact and, nevertheless, it is evident that there is something that transcends the purely cultural to settle in the simply human and in the social reality. Connecting peace and Jewish art means talking about artist. It also implies talking about individual peace, group and social peace, as two different stages of a single concept: a way of understanding reality.
