Call of Moses

Call of Moses

A man stands in the foreground of this image, to the right of center. His back is toward the viewer. He stands with his feet apart and his right hand raised to his forehead as if shielding his eyes. In his left hand he holds a staff. The man faces light in the form of white flames. In the distance is a bush or tree-like shape with leaves. The image is depicted in black, gold/green and white, and the wood carving technique creates simulated texture and visual noise throughout the composition.

1965
