This title presents a series of some 50 color plates of chess-inspired landscapes, in the artist's words, "images of a world of chess after the universal flood, when hardly anything remained intact...a world where things disintegrate", an effort at "seizing the moment, before it is too late and all proof is lost," prefaced by an essay in which Holocaust literary scholar Lawrence L. Langer explicates the multiple meanings of Bak's imagery.
