NEW JERSEY JEWISH NEWS

The Hebrew Letter Dalet, 9” x 12”, acrylic on canvas, 2011

NEW JERSEY--- The work of local artist Eleni Zatz Litt will be showcased at the Jewish Center of Princeton through late October. An opening reception with the artist will be held Sunday, Oct. 6, 2-4 p.m. Litt, who lives in Princeton Junction and is a Jewish Center member, also serves as assistant provost at the New School and is deeply involved in Jewish study and teaching. She issued the following statement about her work: "For me making art is simultaneously a form of prayer and a form of study. I engage with the texts of our tradition with the visual language of line, color, and form. Each piece is the product of an experience and a container of ideas and feelings." Just as the art is a meditation on text, this text is a meditation on the art in the context of the Jewish High Holy Days. [link]
