Yaron approached The Song of Songs in a fresh, naive manner, uninhibited by traditional preconceptions. After a year of drawing, preparation and block-cutting, he has created a stunning volume, vibrant with vitality and humor. The style is reminiscent of fifteenth century block-books, which were essentially picture books of a popular or religious character; illustrations and text being cut with the knife and printed on one side of the paper only. He says: "I did not want to adopt a reverential, symbolic or decorative approach: as I saw it, behind the exalted language were simply a man and woman who loved each other deeply. And I chose to use the whole of the text, combining it with the images to create an atmosphere of time and place."
