Samuel Bak's recent collection considers the hidden dialogue of
generations, with the secret entanglement of different ages. It is
indeed a playful cycle, whose playfulness, and even parody, becomes
apparent to the beholder literate in Jewish memory and religious
imagination. Bak's images are replete with allusions, citations,
intimate references, playing with themes that are as intuitive as
they are rooted in Jewish learning and tradition. In his
illuminating essay, Lawrence Langer reminds us that Bak thinks of
his work as 'learned paintings' disclosing themselves, like sacred
texts, in layers of meaning corresponding to the layers of
learning. Langer beautifully unravels some of their themes, taking
us through the worlds of Torah and Chassidism, to the 'elsewhere'
of the modern age."-Asher D. Biemann, professor of religious
studies, University of Virginia
