The Brighton Beach Bible

Description

Artist and Author Joel Silverstein has published an autobiographical painted

narrative based on the Exodus story of the Hebrew Bible. Offering 64 stunning full-page images

this startling work is both an artist's catalog raisonn and comic book-style sequential

art. Silverstein depicts Brighton Beach and Coney Island, the famed recreational New York

shoreline from the 1970s- 2010s, infusing the images with Pop cultural and art historical

resonance, where seemingly time stands still.
