The rare 1932 graphical novella of the artist Leo Roth (1914-2003) contains thirty

original linocuts made in the spirit of German Expressionism. The turbulent black-and-white linocuts tell the tragic story of an abandoned child, raised by a Christian woman in a remote village. The boy learns of his true identity and is torn between women and the Christian world on the one hand, and the Jewish world on the other.

This series of prints was discovered by the curator Yakir Segev, after rescued from destruction by the artist himself, who had burnt all his early work from Germany. The Jerusalem Print Workshop is hosting the exhibition of this series, which was displayed at Hanina Gallery in Tel Aviv six months ago. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue which reproduces all the prints from the original lost folder and an article by the curator.
