...Pen’s strong showing is especially distressing given the spate of anti-Jewish incidents that have rocked France in the last few weeks. Synagogues have been burned, shot at and vandalized across France. Europe’s latent anti-Semitism is rearing its ugly head and Le Pen’s stunning victory reinforces the notion that France is standing by, if not encouraging, the continued attacks against its Jewish citizens.

It was a destructive relationship in many ways, but one that left an indelible mark on two of the best-known artists...
