Why on Earth Does God have to Paint? Centripetal Art (BOOK‪)‬

Rafael Chodos is a noted independent humanist scholar, an eminent attorney, and a prolific author in the field of fiduciary law, Torah and biblical studies, and the aesthetics of fine art. Thus, he has the good taste to have married an amazingly profound artist, Junko Chodos, who specializes in paintings of deep philosophical expression and exploration. Her extensive repertoire of brilliant works manifests the metamorphosis of her spirit and her sense of the meaning of life, developed from her childhood in the Japanese travail of World War II, to her immigration to the United States as a young adult art student, marriage, and maturation as a leading American contributor to the world of art museums and national personal art shows. This present volume is a remarkably lovely publication. It is a palpable aesthetic inspiration to view it, hold it, savor the delicate beauty evident in the quality of the jacket, the cover, every delightful page of its content, and the sophisticated scholarly end papers.
