Résumé

The article explores how artist Steve Marcus reinterprets Jewish ritual and identity through the visual language of contemporary Pop Art. It considers how Marcus combines humor, tradition, and countercultural imagery to reflect on the contradictions of modern Jewish life. The discussion situates his art within the concept of Bein HaShmashot—the twilight space of transition and creative uncertainty—suggesting that Marcus’s work resists fixed boundaries and underscoring the artist's humorous yet deeply reflective engagement with faith, creativity, and modern Jewish experience.
