Jacqueline Ripstein has broken away from the abstract schools of modern art in her concern with significant content. She is shedding a new light on the traditional myths of the
past by applying them to the present predicament of mankind. In this period of moral and spiritual stagnation, she has the courage to strike out as a humanist and moralist. She dazzles us with the cosmic sweep of
her landscapes. She lures us with her enigmatic, surrealist images but she does more; she disturbs and appeals to our conscience. The doom-ridden images of the Bible are presented with the fervor of moral
indignation.
Myths, as we know, have been called the forgotten language. They are things which have never happened but always are. What the artist is saying through these myths is that man
need not be the helpless victims of cruel forces. Civilized man has the intelligence tot overcome. She is asking for the return of real values, sensible and necessary. She is asking for peace, human love,
humility, reverence for high art and for humanized science.
There is no resignation in her images of doom and gloom. Like the dialogues of Socrates, she implied there are answers to questions which
can lead to hope and scope. She knows the difference between utopian longings and practical programs, between rhetoric and reality. The peace we know today is merely a word interval between wars. Man knows how
to wage war but he has still to learn how to wage peace. The artist has dedicated herself and her art to transform a war civilization into a planetary humanity.
