Hebrew Micrography: One Thousand Years of Art in Script / Avrin, Leila; ElHanani J., 1981

 Item
Identifier: CC-26371-26838
Scope and Contents

The author writes, "Israeli artist Jacob El-Hanani has created his own variation on calligram micrography in his Constructivist style, using minute cursive Hebrew script to form a textured carpet of writing. Although the result differs from the traditional micrograph and calligram, his perseverance proves El-Hanani to be a true descendant of the Medieval masorah scribe." The Sackner Archive holds a work like Arvin has described. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
