How have artists over the centuries been depicting the concept of family?

In Judaism, the family unit has always included universal values such as respecting one’s parents (kibbud Av V’em), peace in the home (shlom bayit), kindness (chesed), justice and charity (tzedakah) and procreation (pru urvu). From ancient to contemporary, we will explore works of art from the MFAH’s permanent collection, showcasing artists’ perspectives on family and lifestyle.  Let’s discover and discuss different media and techniques, social values, priorities and lifestyles from a variety of cultures and time periods, and how they connect to the values held in Jewish culture and how they relate to our notions of families today.
