Reimagined: 45 Years of Jewish Art presents works spanning artist Mark Podwal’s illustrious career; from the whimsical, such as Matzoh Moon and Talmud Typewriter, to the political and religious, such as Passover Haggadah illustrations and textile designs from the world’s most historic synagogues. Luxuriously produced with 3 gate-folds, metallic ink, blue edging and a transparent protective jacket, Reimagined contains more than 350 gorgeously reproduced artworks that imaginatively illuminate Jewish legend, history and tradition, a foreword by Elie Wiesel, and a preface by Cynthia Ozick.
Podwal is world renowned for his innovative ink drawings and paintings of the Jewish experience. Initially known for his drawings for The New York Times Op-Ed page, he is the illustrator of numerous books in collaboration with the likes of luminaries such as Elie Wiesel, Harold Bloom, and Francine Prose. His art is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Israel Museum, the Bodleian Library and the Jewish Museum.
