PETER HOWSON 'The Third Step'
|
|
|
This, the main piece ("Madonna 2002"), depicts Madonna lying in
bed next to several biblical symbols. Around the Madonna figure are symbols
representing Eve, Salome, Mary, mother of Jesus, Esther the Jewish heroine,
and Thaïs the harlot. There is also a small tree of knowledge beside
her, and the head of John the Baptist. |
The second piece ("Death and Madonna") shows Madonna squatting in a graveyard. Peter said of the piece: "It should remind her of her own mortality. She could have just risen from the grave or could be about to return to it." |

Andreas Gursky har en annorlunda uppfattning av den odödliga Madonnan som du kan se på hans foto. P.S. Maddona syns på scenen till höger, resten är publiken och LA, California... |
