Photograph by Michel Deverne

About the Item

Deverne (1927-2012) was a visual artist most interested in abstract geometric forms and textures. He was not known for photography and accordingly this surviving image is quite rare. This is a stylized photograph of an actual Deverne wall construction from about 1973. It was taken by the artist but is unsigned. The photograph is mounted on wood and has been damaged by fire. Condition is poor (but quite interesting).

A Multi-Tiered Carving of a Lotus Flower 46"
Located in Chicago, IL
The lotus flower has been a symbol of spiritual purity and enlightenment ever since the time of the Buddha. These wooden lotus flowers are meticulous reproductions of ceiling decorations found in Thai temples. In some temples, lotuses are painted directly on the ceiling. In other temples, they're elaborately carved, covered in gold and placed in the center of ceiling panels. Either way, their purpose is the same -to draw the eye of the worshiper toward heaven. . According to a Zen verse, “may we exist in muddy water with purity, like a lotus." The lotus grows out of the mud, rising upward to bloom in the sunlight, clean and perfect. These lotuses are hand-carved from wood and finished by artisans in Chiang Mai, Thailand, according to ancient designs. Shown here: a large multi-tiered lotus with an antique wood finish.
