Kurt Falk co-founded the Tobias School of Art in Forest Row, England, with his wife, Anne Stockton. He was a teacher of art history. Prior to that, he had been a biodynamic farmer in Germany and then in Egypt. While he was in Cairo, he discovered the mysterious Bosch painting that forms the center of his book. He continually researched the deeper background of the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch until his death in 1986.
"A convenient chronology of forty-three paintings from Bosch's
oeuvre.... Falk analyzes the iconography in such detail, calling
our attention to objects and creatures easily overlooked in smaller
reproductions.... ["The Unknown Hieronymus Bosch"] transforms the
quality of our attention, if not the content of our opinions."
--Jerry Cullum, editor at large of" Art Papers"
