The Mother : Contact Painting
In March 1967 Huta began the work of expressing some of Sri Aurobindo's poems through paintings. Under the Mother's inspiration and guidance she selected certain verses from the poems and completed fifty-four paintings, which were all shown to the Mother in September of that year. This new book presents these paintings along with the lines which inspired them from some of Sri Aurobindo's most well-known poems
THEME/S
Rich with thy hurrying streams, Bright with thy orchard gleams, ... Dark of hue, O candid-fair In thy soul, with jewelled hair And thy glorious smile divine, Loveliest of all earthly lands, Showering wealth from well-stored hands! Mother, Mother mine! Mother sweet, I bow to thee Mother great and free!
Sri Aurobindo, Translations: Hymn to the Mother
About the symbolism Sri Aurobindo wrote:
"The Bird of Fire is the living vehicle of the gold fire of the Divine Light and the white fire of the Divine Tapas and the crimson fire of the Divine Love — and everything else of the Divine Consciousness."
