More information

Nr 13, "Flygande fågel mot sol". Tyra Lundgren: "Denna stora reliefs historia: En gång under ett besök i New York satt jag och tecknade. Det blev en hel serie skissblad. Kanhända fjärrskådade jag just då från jättestadens gytter hur solen stiger upp över horisonten ur mitt österhav och såg mossors och lavars färgrika former frigöra sig från strandstenarna och flyga österut mot den stigande solen. Senare inspirerade teckningarna mig till flera stora reliefer, alla med strandstenlavarnas vegetativa spännande former, frisläppta mot sol och himlavalv. Därför kallade jag denna relief Mossorna flyger österut. Men nu har vi vänt en kortsida nedåt och då flyger en svart fågel över solen. Utställd 1965 på Svensk-Franska galleriet och 1969 på museerna i Malmö, Kalmar och Visby".
