1989

In 1989 Ejay Weiss embarked on the “Eden”-series that concluded in 1992. The theme of Adam & Eve were part of the series that focused on a blue square.

At this time, Weiss was also influenced by the theories of Euclid who suggested the mathematical problem of squaring the circle. Weiss pursued this unresolved problem over 3 years.

The paintings below are titled “Adam & Eve #1” (August 1989, Acrylic on canvas, 42” x 42”, III) and “Adam & Eve #2” (September 1989, Acrylic on canvas, 42” x 42”, II).
