TI - Building the “New Jerusalem”: Jewish Artistic Patronage in Łódź, 1880–1907
AB - 
	The article focuses on the issue of Jewish bourgeoisie’s artistic patronage in Łódź at the the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The selected time range (1890–1907) covers the period of both the city’s rapid development and flourishing of culture and artistic life until the outbreak of the 1905 Revolution. What’s characteristic of the Jewish bourgeoisie patronage in Łódź, is the tendency to finance projects that not only created a sense of community in a multiethnic city, but also emphasized the significant but distinctive role of Jews among townspeople. In this article, the issue of patronage is discussed on selected examples, taking into account shaping of public space and private initiatives in both architecture and fine arts.
