Leonard Cohen. God is Alive, Magic is Afoot (2000)

     Leonard Cohen. God is Alive, Magic is Afoot (2000) Illustrated by Sarah Perkins and Ian Jackson. An excerpt from Beautiful Losers, designed to be pleasant to look at. The text is a pretext for paintings and clips from classical art, digitally combined and manipulated, apparently with the aim of extending the text. But the art never rises above the interesting, and most of it is high greeting card. “Tasteful” kitsch IOW.(2004)
