“Many generations already have passed, but the muse of painting in spiritual health has never attained its proper form – you will rectify this.” The Rebbe’s final remarks to me were the following: “You have succeeded in representing the Jewish soul. You must understand that the body of the Jew, which has been chosen by the Almighty to perform His will, is sacred as well. For this reason you must begin to paint depictions of The Literal Meaning of our Sacred Texts.” The Lubavitch Rebbe.
