The art of Samuel Bak depicts a world destroyed and yet
provisionally pieced back together. Across nearly seven decades of
artistic production Samuel Bak has explored and reworked a set of
metaphors, a visual grammar and vocabulary, that ultimately
privileges questions. Bak's pictorial readings invite
reconsideration of the Post-Reformation privileging of word over
image, and of the Post-Enlightenment privileging of reason over
experience. Bak preserves memory of the twentieth century ruination
of Jewish life and culture by way of an artistic passion and
precision that stubbornly announces the creativity of the human
spirit.
