Light blue cloth over boards; 120 pp; illustrated some are color. "Jacob El Hanani b. 1947 was born in Casablanca Morocco and was raised in Israel. He produces highly intricate works through the painstaking repetition of minuscule marks often Hebrew letters repeated thousands of times using ink on paper or canvas. He draws these images without magnification. The end result is a work of extraordinary detail that appears to be a pattern from a distance and speaks of the passage of time and the link between the microscopic and the infinite. Inspired by Albrecht Durer and minimalism El Hanani practices the ancient art of micrography in which tiny calligraphic letters are repeatedly drawn to create abstract designs. Jewish scribes used this technique to transcribe holy texts. El Hanani sees his work as part of this continuum and himself as a champion of the handmade."-- website.
