The Mystic Lamb

Jack Goldstein, Fulvio Salvadori

The Mystic Lamb

description

Artist's book composed of text, in English, by Fulvio Salvadori and illustrations by Jack Goldstein. "When I first discovered the paintings of Jack Goldstein I immediately associated them with the Polyptych of Ghent, the 'Mystic Lamb' of jan Van Eyck: at first sight two distant things. The 'Mystic Lamb' shows the moment just before the outburst of the Apocalypse when time is held back and life is an endless instant. We find the same time's perception in the artworks of Goldstein: a flattening of history, and instantaneous contemporaneity, as we experience day by day in the world of electronic information." -- from "A note," by Fulvio Salvadori.
