Growing up in 1930s New York City, Albert Chasan would listen to his parents talk in Yiddish about their harsh childhoods in the Russian Empire. Once he retired from the marketing communications firm he founded, Albert decided to commemorate his parents’ lives through a series of expressionistic, boldly hued acrylics. Join us on Sunday, April 27 for the opening of Albert Chasan: Painting His Parents’ Lives, including a conversation with Albert’s family at 2:00 p.m.

Albert Chasan: Painting His Parents’ Lives is on view at the Yiddish Book Center through October 2025.
