Jerusalem has many faces. A holy city of stones, narrow alleys, and market places. Young people ; long haired and bearded, crowd from all parts of the world upon her historical sites. Aged ones haunt its streets, full of years, as is Jerusalem itself. All the city quarters have their own faces and yet they melt into one by that quality of what is mortal and that which is eternal. Here then, is the pen of the painter caught between the Jerusalem on high and the Jerusalem of here and now. Thousands of years of folk groups have placed their stamp on every footstep and created their own landscape and their own portrait. Yossi Stern observes, responds, draws, gathers, and translates into the language of the pen and the brush. Sometimes it looks like Yossi is telling and singing it with lines. As a keeper of a diary, who touches the moment, hidden and passing us by, he touches images faintly smiling ; the stony walls, the vegetables spilling on to the market place, and the houses leaning on the narrow alleyways. Before us is a collection of drawings that tells one of these stories of Jerusalem."; *** Illustrated Outer Folder = Worn Bumped & Torn at corners, thus FA/G' ** One Print has 1" x 1" piece off Corner thus GOOD; One Print = G/VG; 4 Prints = VG/FN; Size: 13-3/4" x 19"..
