Jewish artists will be prominently represented at the forthcoming annual exhibition of the Royal Academy, it is seen from the published list of exhibitors.
Considerable interest was evinced in the young Jewish artist of Whitechapel, Sylvain Kluska, who is seventeen years old. Two of his paintings have been accepted by the Royal Academy for exhibition. He will be the youngest artist exhibiting this year.
Kluska’s parents came to London from Poland fifteen years ago. In an interview with the representative of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, the boy stated that he takes an interest in Jewish affairs. His parents, who were poor, helped him greatly toward his success. His first pictures were exhibited three years ago in the Whitechapel Art Gallery. Since then he has studied art at St. Martin’s School.
