This beautiful, full-color picture book presents 77 monotypes by James Bennett interpreting stories from the Tanakh (also called the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament). Bennett's artwork explores the symbolism and mysteries hidden within the ancient, sacred writings -- imparting new insights from the past that might provide us with meanings for today. The reproductions are each full-page and in full-color. Stylistically, the work of Marc Chagall and Paul Klee were influences. The 77 monotypes (prints where only a single copy of an image is made) are combined with collage, gold leaf, pastel, and computer generated text. The computer generated text which accompanies each monotype uses a font created by Bennett specifically for this artwork and is based on the ancient Phoenician alphabet which is foundational for all western alphabets. This book is sure to entertain, intrigue, and challenge the reader for many years to come.
