Mark Podwal’s art has long focused on Jewish
legend, history and tradition. Although he always made images, Podwal never pursued formal art
training but rather became (and continues to practice as) a physician. While in medical school, the
tumultuous events of the 1960s compelled him to create a series of political drawings that were
published in his first book, The Decline and Fall of the American
Empire and on The New York Times’ OpEd page. Podwal’s
work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert
Museum, the Israel Museum, and many others. Two years ago his retrospective Reimagined: 45 Years of Jewish Art by Mark Podwal (Glitterati Inc.) was published.
He recently visited Dabrowa Białostocka in Poland, where his mother was born, and produced a series
of drawings and watercolors. The prints from this series were on view at the Museum at Eldridge
Street in New York and are currently shown at the Yiddish Book Center.
