Helène Aylon
Helène Aylon (born Helene Greenfield, February 4, 1931, Brooklyn, New York) is an American multimedia and ecofeminist artist.〔Debra Nussbaum Cohen, "The Liberation of Helène Aylon," ''Forward'' (13 July 2012).〕〔Helène Aylon, ''Whatever Is Contained Must Be Released: My Jewish Orthodox Girlhood, My Life as a Feminist Artist'' (New York: Feminist Press, 2012).〕 Her work can be divided into three phases: process art (1970s), anti-nuclear art (1980s), and ''The G-d Project'' (1990s and early 2000s), a feminist commentary on the Hebrew Bible and other established traditions. In 2012 Aylon published ''Whatever Is Contained Must Be Released: My Jewish Orthodox Girlhood, My Life as a Feminist Artist''.〔
==Early life and education==
While living in Brooklyn, Aylon received an orthodox Jewish upbringing; she is fluent in Hebrew.〔Gloria Feman Orenstein, "Torah Study, Feminism and Spiritual Quest in the Work of Five American Jewish Women Artists," ''Nashim: A Journal of Jewish Women's Studies & Gender Issues'' 14 (Fall 2007): 97–130.〕 She attended grade school at Shulamith School for Girls and her high school education was at the Midrasha; Aylon, however, originally wanted to attend the High School of Music and Art in Manhattan.〔 While attending high school, she became engaged to a rabbinical student named Mandel H. Fisch (b. 1926); they married in 1949.〔"Helène Aylon, Bucking the Bridal Bridle," ''Washington Post'', 30 December 2001.〕〔Dinitia Smith, "Artist Challenges Ancient Marital Rituals"," ''Chicago Tribune'' (25 July 2001).〕 Aylon moved immediately to Montréal, where her husband served as a rabbi. After two years, she gave birth to a son, Nathaniel Fisch, followed by a daughter, Renee Emunah. The couple returned to Brooklyn while Aylon was pregnant with her second child. Mandel Fisch was diagnosed with cancer in 1956 and died five years later; Aylon was 30.〔〔〔
Prior to her husband's death, Aylon enrolled as an art student at Brooklyn College, where she studied under Ad Reinhardt. After finishing college, she was commissioned to paint a mural for the youth employment center in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant. When photographed for a newspaper article, she said that her name was Helène Aylon, in which she used the Hebrew equivalent of her first name as her surname.〔〔 She subsequently taught at San Francisco State University and California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland.〔Leslie Katz, "Pen in Hand, Artist Highlights Disturbing Torah Verses," ''Jewish Bulletin of Northern California'' (6 September 1996).〕
Aylon's first notable work, ''Rauch (Spirit, Wind, Breath)'' (1965), was a 16-foot mural, commissioned for the now-defunct Synagogue Library at JFK International Airport, that attempted to portray Judaism through the eyes of women.〔Alison Gass, "The Art and Spirituality of Helène Aylon," ''Bridges'' 8 (Spring 200): 12–18.〕
