Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. In the art of Samuel Bak, familiar objects fracture before our eyes, abandoning their traditional functions to become metaphors for a dissonant, broken world. Inhabitants of a surrealistic space, Baks candles are abused, damaged, melting, lifeless, and bathed in the somber afterglow of profound sorrow. The cylindrical candles morph into tree trunks, logs, chimneys, columns, missiles, and other projectiles, exposing the frequent disorder at the heart of the supposed orderly progression of history. An icon of memory becomes a ruse, where the flames of remembrance mingle with the drifting smoke of extermination. Amidst the anguish of his paintings, however, Bak allows for the notion that life can rise anew from the ashes. In his enlightening essay, Lawrence L. Langer guides us through the ritual of remembering the Holocaust through Baks paintings, familiarizing the viewer with a past that may feel abstract to many of us. While Bakspaintings provide an entry point into the reality of the Shoah that our modern consciousness struggles to confront, Langers words explicate the historical, religious, and cultural narratives that inform the artwork.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Showcases the distinctive work of one of the most innovative artists of our time. Samuel Bak's most recent series of paintings, "New Perceptions of Old Appearances", is a tribute to the power of the metaphorical imagination. Using the pear as a substitute image for the familiar apple of Eden, Bak explores the struggle of modern civilization to wrest from our fragile universe a viable mode of communal existence. Bak's pears are stoic in their solidity, but vulnerable to decay. In some guises they shine with the beauty of succulent fruit, but in others they fall victim to the violence of history and the decay of time. In this book - filled with color illustrations - Lawrence L. Langer shows the versatility and uniqueness of Bak's art. His pears play many roles, challenging the viewer to interpret their enigmatic presences without having to search for a single dogmatic meaning. While some, laden with promise, proclaim the inherent dignity of artistic form, others remind us, as they are consumed by fire or sacrificed on strange altars, of what Bak has called the ""ineffaceable tragedy and sadness"" that has been part of our lot as human creatures during the past hundred years. His images are both ripe with life and haunted by death. Samuel Bak had his first exhibition at the age of nine in the Vilna Ghetto. After emigrating to Israel, he studied at the Bezalel Art School in Jerusalem. He has had numerous solo exhibitions at galleries and museums in the United States, Israel, and Europe. Books about his work include ""Landscapes of Jewish Experience: Paintings by Samuel Bak"" and ""The Book of Genesis in the Art of Samuel Bak"". Lawrence L. Langer is Alumnae Chair Professor of English Emeritus at Simmons College. His publications include ""The Holocaust and the Literary Imagination"", ""Holocaust Testimonies: The Ruins of Memory"", ""Art from the Ashes: A Holocaust Anthology"", and ""Preempting the Holocaust"".
