Description: Paris: Somogy, 2014. 28cm., hardcover, 240pp., 484 illus. English text. Summary: For centuries, in the cities and the countryside, Jewish artistry flourished in Morocco: metals (precious and otherwise), manuscripts, various fabrics, leather, wood, etc. It often resulted in exceptional pieces that express the uniqueness and creativity of the mostly anonymous artisans. Ethnologist André Goldenberg, a native of Morocco, has devoted much of his life and his knowledge to collecting the pieces in this work, these ritual and secular objects, always of absolute authenticity and extremely high artistic quality. They reveal the many facets of the magnificent and often overlooked Moroccan Jewish art that his patient research has now rescued from oblivion. This richly illustrated book, a veritable “imaginary museum,” lets us see and understand hundreds of masterpieces from prestigious public and private collections in Morocco and elsewhere.
