“The House of the Fishes is the house... of brilliant splendor.”
—Carl Jung, Aion |
| Currents depicts one of the most spectacular sights in the underwater world of the tropics—two species of butterflyfish moving in different directions. In the foreground, a group of Raccoon butterflyfish glides from left to right, the bold repetition of their markings forming a dramatic pattern. In the background, a large school of Pennantfish sweeps in the opposite direction, their graceful pennants flowing behind them as they arch upward in unison toward the light. In all, the painting represents more than 180 fish in part or in whole. |
