“Of the making of books…” : “…there is no end.” Leonard Baskin was commissioned to illustrate The Five Scrolls, a popular press edition of the Pentateuch. His watercolor depicts the biblical verse that inspired Baskin throughout his life: “…of the making of books there is no end.” Ecclesiastes 12:12. The Gehenna Press continues today, publishing designs and images the artist created prior to his death in 2000. |
