About the Item
Some say that life on earth may have first bubbled up from hot spots on the ocean floor, the Primordial Soup. Based on its title, “In the Beginning,” it’s likely that American artist Lester Russon (1925-1988) was envisioning life a few stages and millions of years afterward, when evolution made things more crowded. What extraordinary variety, What cosmic experimentation run rampant. But then again, maybe it’s bouillabaisse.
