Leonard Baskin | 1975–1976
The Leonard Baskin prints on the second floor portray significant biblical figures, including Jacob, our forefather to whom we owe our very name, Beit Elohim. Stephanie and Stephen Alpert donated these four large artist’s & shop proofs of Jacob (color lithograph, 1975-76, artist’s proof), Noah (color lithograph, 1975, shop proof), Rachel (1976, lithograph, shop proof) and Judith (1975, color lithograph, artist’s proof). The significance of a proof is that the print would have been the personal property of the artist.
