"The 613" by Archie Rand
If you, or the kid in the you, is a fan of “comix”, you’ll be a fan of The 613, a collection in which painter Archie Rand illustrates each of the Torah’s 613 commandments. All done in a wild style the New York Times calls a “mash-up of comic books, True Detective magazine covers and obsessive-compulsive disorder… like Marc Chagall on a bender,” each panel in The 613 is stunning, truly unique work of art. Meet the artist for a “Bagels & Books” event and a virtual and very visual guided tour of one of the most singular works of Jewish art ever made.
