Victor Majzner 'Gate of Unity and Belief. Chapter 3, from Images of Tanya series' impressionism 'Dawn Near SwartbooisdriftVictor Majzner once wrote that Art makes the intangible visible. In this work, the intangible is the Jewish concept of God as both spiritual and immanent, meaning reflected throughout the material world. It derives from a folio of screenprints titled Images of Tanya and seeks to illuminate the Torah. Indeed, both the title of this work and its folio refer to a Kabbalistic text, Tanya, that offers a mystical interpretation of the Jewish Bible. Majzner
