Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages,
poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the
original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We
believe this work is culturally important, and despite the
imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of
our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
Blurred landscapes, falling trees and the lofty peaks of the
Pyrenees - the extraordinary aesthetics of Ori Gersht's work seduce
the viewer. But beneath the beautiful first appearances lie the
sites of historical events - in this way the artist makes visible
what is no longer plain to see. Ori Gersht (* 1967) views the
landscape as the location of past events. On his journeys he
follows the traces of the past and translates the process of
remembering into powerfully expressive images. The impressive
panorama of the Pyrenees, for example, is a site of a desperate
flight from the National Socialists. His works of art are metaphors
for the unsolvable relationships between past and present, between
life and death. They are in the liminal space between (natural)
forces and destruction on the one hand, and beauty and grandeur on
the other. The images unfold their poetry and horror simultaneously
in an extensive pictorial series.
