Agam added “time” to his art
In her 2013 “Agam Beyond the Visible”, Sayako Aragaki relates a self-perspective of Yaacov Agam: “Perhaps I am a visual rabbi’ smiled Agam shyly, indicating that he does secretly see himself as a spiritual inheritor of Rabbi Yehoshua.” Rabbi Yehoshua Gipstein his father, was a devotee of mystical Kabbalah and the search for the invisible, hidden divinity. Sayako Aragaki underscores Agam’s visual mission with his characterization of his artistic endeavors: “I don’t pray with words. I pray visually. My works are, so to speak, a visual prayer.” (Sayako Aragaki, Agam Beyond the Visible, Gefen Publishing House, Jerusalem, 1997, P,?)
