From Worldcat: "The large-scale pencil and graphite drawings are from a series that Feferman began in the 1990s. She had intended to make one hundred all told but the project was interrupted half way through by her illness. Forty-two of these are reproduced in the book, Golden Hands: Drawings and Reflections (2009). They are inspired by the gift of a beautifully sewn cotton apron that her grandmother, Helen Grand Feferman, made at the age of 14 in pre-World War I Poland; an emigre to the United States following the war, she lived to the age of 100. The drawings incorporate frequent references to the apron as well as to symbols of Jewish life and, in the end, to Helen herself, while reminders of the Holocaust form a thrumming undercurrent. In praise of the 'wide graphic range and consummate artistry' in the Golden Hands series, the art critic Irving Sandler wrote that 'Rachel Feferman's drawings are direct from the heart to the hand. Her poignant images - aprons, hands with needles, loaves of bread - set against unsettling backgrounds of bodies are pervaded by a sense of life's pain.'"

This very large book will require SUBSTANTIAL postage at our cost for International shipments [up to $100 or more], but only the standard charge for priority or media mail. First Edition.

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
