The golem in legend AND art,
By A Customer
This review is from: Golem!: Danger, Deliverance, and Art (Paperback)
Emily Bilski was the exhibition curator for an exhibition on the golem at the Jewish Museum, and this work springs from that exploration of the golem as a legend and in art. This book contains a forward by Isaac Bashevis Singer, an historical overview by Bilski and Moshe Idel, an authority on the golem, an essay on the golem in Jewish mysticism by Idel, an essay on Wegener's film "The Golem," and an extensive collection of images of the golem in the arts. This study of the golem is different than all the others I've seen because it addresses the legend not just in terms of history or significance to the Jewish mystical tradition, but also the many representations of the golem in literature, art, and film. You don't find a collection of golem images like this anywhere else.
