Of
diverse careers, formally trained in art or self-taught with
integral talent, whether WPA artist, scientist-illustrator, or
specialist with an eye toward fashion or architecture, the family
Bibel reflects their long lineage of craftsmen and designers with
their own contemporary approaches. This book surveys their work over
decades and generations. While several of them focus their social
and political perspectives in era-spanning protest, others explore
Eastern philosophy and craft and media of popular culture. They never
left behind the innate childhood drive for creativity and artistic
expression. Featured is Leon Bibel,* noted artist of the 1930s Great
Depression, who later developed graphic wood constructions and
architectural Judaica. Also included are example works of Debra Jan
Bibel, Philip Bibel, Bennett Bibel, Elaine Bibel Cater, Sarah Bibel,
Jacob Bibel, Malachi Bibel, and Brianna Bibel.
Foreword by art critic and historian DeWitt Cheng. 254 pages.
Hundreds of color images. Hardbound.
