An exhibit of works by the artist Ben Shahn is scheduled to open Sunday at the Jewish Museum in New York. The display of paintings by Ben Shahn, who emigrated to the United States from Lithuania in 1906 with his family, will focus on works between 1936 and 1965, when he increasingly turned to biblical themes. After the exhibit is displayed at the Jewish Museum through March 7, 1999, it will then travel to museums in Allentown, Pa. and Detroit.
