Joseph and His Brothers VI 1966

Peter Lipman-Wulf created this image, Joseph and His Brothers VI, using a delicate palette of earth tones, which gives the piece a sense of age and timelessness. The lines are etched with care, creating a scene that feels both ancient and deeply personal. I can imagine Lipman-Wulf working on this, carefully carving each line, perhaps thinking about the weight of betrayal and the long journey into slavery. There's something about the texture that makes you want to reach out and touch it, to feel the weight of the story in your hands. The camels in the background, they seem to be silent witnesses, their presence adding to the overall mood of sorrow and resignation. The text is a poignant reminder of Joseph's fate. In his wider practice, Peter Lipman-Wulf often explored themes of human suffering and resilience, much like other artists, constantly interpreting and reinterpreting shared stories and experiences. Art is, after all, an ongoing conversation.
