Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.How Jewish was the art of R B Kitaj, one of the leading lights of postwar British art, who became so upset by the critical mauling he got that he left the country for his native America?
Two galleries join forces to make the case for this nervy and at times wayward member of the group that refreshed figurative art in London after the war.
Featuring some powerful pictures (including If Not, Not, pictured above), London focuses on his self-proclaimed Jewishness; the other, in Chichester, on an overview of his career, including some affectionate portraits.
Jewish Museum, London NW1 (020 7284 7384) to 16 Jun; Pallant House Gallery, Chichester (01243 774557) to 16 Jun
