INTO THE LIGHT: The Healing Art of Kalman Aron by Susan Beilby Magee

A six-year-old girl sits for a pastel portrait by an unknown immigrant artist. Fifty years later, he asks her to write his story. INTO THE LIGHT is a profound, visual narrative of hope, courage and healing in the face of evil. It relates the epic life journey of artist Kalman Aron as he emerges from the ashes of the Holocaust to explore the nature of humankind, his own humanity and the mystery of life—all on canvas. What unfolds is a visual record of one man’s remarkable evolution from darkness to light. Healing himself through his art, Kalman Aron’s example offers hope to all. Available October 2012 from Hard Press Editions.
