In Pucker Art Publications’ twelfth book on the art of Samuel
Bak, the artist collaborates with Lawrence L. Langer to explore
the book of Genesis, the search for identity, and that first
couple: Adam and Eve. Bak’s 120 paintings depicting the
couple as travelers, Renaissance-era and twentieth-century lost
souls, are rich in symbolism, posing questions of good and
evil and of how we are to repair the world. Langer effectively
and intelligently analyzes and provides insight into the paintings’
meanings and allusions.
