Abstract
Larry Abramson's original work (born 1954), along with his many years of activity as an educator and voice for equal coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians and against violations of freedom of expression, have made him a central and influential figure in the art and cultural discourse of recent decades. His art combines a unique aesthetic language and a critical examination of the interrelationships between art and its historical, social and political contexts. Writing - both as a means of personal inquiry and as a tool for publicly articulating theoretical thought - accompanies Abramson's studio work from its inception. His writing skillfully moves between different literary genres, from academic theoretical formats, through allegorical aphorisms to personal poetic writing, and it is presented here for the first time as a layered, sorted and orderly mishnah. -- Back cover
