Page 5 - Kosinski - Journey in Watercolors
P. 5

George Kosinski paints, not like an angel,
but like a fellow human who comes alongside to enrich your world of visual perception and to remind you of something more. There is a seasoned mind well connected with the development of art in history, taking you through a new pilgrimage of unspeakable beauty, colour, light and profound human awareness.
Kosinski paints not only to delight the observer
but to remind one of the ageless story of the human struggle, even with his own. His paintings reveal that we are all part of the same web of life. Sympathetically he has that gift of touching the ordinary experiences of each of us with a rare awareness of the numinous which we so often overlook in our haste.
As you progress through this handsome volume
you will be getting acquainted with an artist who came with his family, as so many of us now residing in Jerusalem, seeking a future that will offer something new and yet old at the same time.
Jerusalem, for Kosinski,
has become the anvil on which the Divine and human forge out a meaningful relationship in the throes of human circumstances.
With Jerusalem as his matrix, he courageously guides one
with his visual gems to view this complex social pattern of life in the Middle East in a higher key. While not avoiding the pitiful predicament one is caught in, Kosinski breaks through the political quagmire and celebrates the whole social fabric of this beautiful world around us.
It is indeed a challenge to pick up this volume and view the world in a new light, a new key, while remaining deeply committed to the whole human enterprise.
