Engage in close looking and get new ideas for your own art making while you reflect on the painting Strange Worlds (1928) by Todros Geller.
Born in the Russian Empire in what is now Ukraine, Todros Geller fled Eastern Europe and immigrated to Canada in 1906. In 1918, he moved to Chicago and enrolled at the School of the Art Institute. Geller’s Jewish faith, culture, and community were central to his life and art, inspiring paintings and prints that reflect his Jewish identity as well as scenes of daily life and migration.
