In a Different Light: The Book of Genesis in the Art of Samuel Bak

Pucker Gallery

In Painted in Words, renowned artist Samuel Bak sets aside his brushes to narrate the story of his life--as a child in Nazi-occupied Vilna, as a youth in European refugee camps, and as a maturing artist in Israel, France, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States. Lovingly, he evokes his departed parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, along with their household employees, to create a vital gallery of dramatic, lyrical, epic, and sometimes absurd heroes. With gentle humor, the child prodigy of the faraway past and the accomplished artist of today engage in a spirited dialogue from which emerges a self-portrait of the ?Artist as a Young--and middle-aged and aging--Survivor.?
