Description
This limited edition lithograph "Pardes, 5761" by Peter Halley was created as part of a special graphics program exclusively for the Jewish Museum. Halley's work Pardes 5761 is based on a conception of geometry as a metaphor for society. The elements of his iconography are yellow and orange rectangular cell units, linked by linear conduits, which may represent the individual organisms and networks of contemporary urban existence. The result is a rectangular spiral that recedes into space and appears like a corridor or hallway. “Pardes" means orchard or garden in Hebrew and in Jewish mysticism is the “Garden of Eden." The word also refers to the four levels of textual interpretation in Judaism: peh (literal meaning), resh (allegorical meaning), dalet (moral meaning), and samekh (mystical meaning). Possibly, Halley's work is an abstracted depiction of the “Garden of Eden" or represents the levels of understanding in interpreting a work. This work retains many of the minimalist elements and geometric abstraction of Halley's overall aesthetic.

Presentation
Peter Halley (American, born September 24, 1953 in New York) is a painter and printmaker associated with the Minimalist, Neo-Conceptual and Neo-Geo movements. He is famous for his geometric and colorful abstractions, which he calls "prisons" and "cells". Halley received his BFA from Yale University and his MFA from the University of New Orleans in 1978. In the 1980s, Halley began painting his prisons and cells, often interconnected by conduits of sorts, using Day-Glo acrylic colors and Roll-a-Tex additive paint. These iconic forms reflect the rigid compartmentalization of space in the modern urban environment.
Over time, Halley's pieces become increasingly complex, incorporating more and more tubes, prisons and cells into his paintings. His paintings have been exhibited at the Kitakyushu Municipal Museum of Art in Japan, the Haus Esters Museum in Krefeld, Germany, and the MoMA in New York. He currently lives and works in New York.
