Jonathan Leaman (b. 1954, London) is a British painter who is represented in the Tate Collection. This article, the result of 15 years of his correspondence with art historian and museum curator Batsheva Goldman-Ida, focuses on a group of works by the artist from the last two decades. Leaman’s familiarity with major Kabbalah scholarship, combined with his wide knowledge of poetry and philosophy, enable him to engage in concepts related to Kabbalah and art in a discursive manner that is unparalleled in modern scholarship. This article showcases Leaman’s remarks with source material for the benefit of the reader. Leaman is one of the most important contemporary artists in the area of mystical art. His introduction to the public is long overdue. His paintings are an authentic, creative expression of the considered material filtered through the artist’s own self-awareness. Leaman’s keen interest in haecceity, hypostatization, and reification is juxtaposed with Goldman-Ida’s interest in object history and linguistic mysticism, and with key Hasidic and kabbalistic concepts such as worship through corporeality, divine contraction, and rectification.

乔纳森·利曼（Jonathan Leaman）（1954年生于伦敦）是英国画家，他是泰特美术馆（Tate Collection）的代表。本文是他与艺术史学家和博物馆策展人巴特谢娃·戈德曼·艾达（Batsheva Goldman-Ida）往来15年的结果，重点介绍了这位艺术家近二十年来的一组作品。里曼对Kabbalah的主要奖学金很熟悉，再加上他对诗歌和哲学的广泛了解，使他能够以一种具有开裂性的方式从事与Kabbalah和艺术有关的概念，这在现代学术中是无与伦比的。本文用源材料展示了Leaman的言论，以使读者受益。利曼是神秘艺术领域最重要的当代艺术家之一。他向公众的介绍早就该了。他的画是真实的，通过艺术家自身的自我意识过滤掉的素材的创造性表达。里曼（Leaman）对狂喜，矫正和矫正的浓厚兴趣与高盛·艾达（Goldman-Ida）对客体历史和语言神秘主义的浓厚兴趣，以及关键的哈西德和卡巴拉式的兴趣并列，例如通过肉体化，神圣收缩和矫正进行崇拜。
