‘It’s him, but through the eyes of others’: behind the Leonard Cohen exhibition
In Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything, the singer’s allure is explored by an array of artists in a variety of different mediums
Claudia Gould, the director of the Jewish Museum in New York City, describes the allure of Leonard Cohen as beyond mere fandom. “He goes right into your soul,” Gould explains. “Once he gets in there, it’s hard to extricate yourself. Leonard speaks to us on many different levels, whether through his music, activism, language and everything else he’s known for.”
