Review
"Architect Alexander Gorlin's original and courageous new book,
Kabbalah in Art and Architecture, brings ancient ideas forward as he interprets modern and contemporary art and architecture through a prism of Jewish ideas and references... Gorlin seduces the reader to follow him on his journey linking ancient Jewish mysticism and the visual arts- a leap of faith that is both insightful and ennobling."
-- The Jewish Book Council, March 5, 2014
This informative and heavily illustrated book is not so much about places where artists have applied principles of Kabbalah- the Jewish mystical interpretation of the universe- but where Alexander Gorlin takes readers to find them... Gorlin clearly describes many of Kabbalah's themes in a manner that speaks to artists and architects.
-- Samuel D. Gruber, Architectural Record, March 2014
In his provocative and beautifully illustrated study, "Kabbalah in Art and Architecture," Alexander Gorlin argues that kabbalistic concepts have deeply influenced the creative work of both Jewish and non-Jewish artists and architects."
-- Gavriel D. Rosenfeld, The Jewish Daily Forward, January 23, 2014
The Kabbalistic idea of creation, as expressed through light, space, and geometry, has left its unmistakable mark on our civilization... Gorlin brings light to the translation of the mystical philosophy into a physical form, drawing clear comparisons between philosophy and design that will excite and exalt.-- Evan Bartholomew, NOMAD Culture, December 2, 2013A serious but lively look at Jewish mysticism, supported by an archive of reference material Gorlin has been compiling for over twenty years...a visual feast, packed with large, full-bleed images that have an undeniable impact.--Martin C. Pedersen, Metropolis Magazine;December 4, 2013Locked within Kabbalah’s 3,500-year-old texts are secrets that go beyond a direct experience of the divine, Gorlin argues in his new book. Whether its influences are intentionally there or not, the author offers as evidence of the mystical tradition centuries of manuscripts, drawings, paintings, sculptures, and structures created by Jews and gentiles alike, including Frank Gehry, Yayoi Kusama, and Louis Kahn, who designed the Temple Beth El synagogue in Chappaqua, New York, in 1972. It’s the experience of art beyond the conscious reception of it that Gorlin’s after. Those who prefer their art criticism with a healthy dose of rationalism can take comfort in the Kabbalistic notion that, as he puts it, “geometry orders the universe.”-- Meredith Mendelsohn, Blouin ArtInfo; September 9, 2013 Download latest books on mediafire and other links compilation Kabbalah in Art and Architecture Hardcover Epub Free
