Press News: Yudith Levin featured in the Haaretz

"Yudith Levin doesn't quite remember when it happened. Twenty years ago, or maybe a little more, but it was a defining moment, one that keeps coming up throughout our conversation. Through it, she tries to explain how she perceives the craft of painting, or what happens to a body as it wears down and deteriorates. It was at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Levin had insisted on going there on her way to visit friends who lived in Delft. "The only part of the museum that was open was the Rembrandt section," Levin shrugs, "so I went to see Rembrandt."

She gave The Night Watch a quick tick and didn't stay long. "There were loads of Japanese tourists crowding around, fighting to see the work. I didn't even try to push my way through and kept moving. Between a large painting of men in white collars (Levin is most likely referring to The Syndics of the Drapers' Guild from 1662, O.H.) and The Jewish Bride(1666), there was a much smaller painting I didn't recognize. At first I thought it was John the Baptist or some other saint, but then I realized it was actually Rembrandt himself. I couldn't take my eyes off it."
