CS197017_Hexagram-58_The-Joyous_acrylic_Charles-Stevenson

Hexagram 58: The Joyous by Charles Marchant Stevenson (1970), The hexagram is an image of lakes resting one upon the other and the symbolism points to joyful success through cooperation and perseverance...True joy, therefore, rests on firmness and strength within, manifesting itself outwardly as yielding and gentle.” - From Hexagram 58, I Ching: Or, Book of Changes, Wilhelm-Baynes translation, Bollingen Series, Princeton University Press. Charles Marchant Stevenson's daily study of the I Ching is reflected in the highly personal interpretations in his work. For example, in Hexagram 58: The Joyous, in addition to the lake, Stevenson adds the summer sun, hollyhocks symbolic of first fruits, fertility, and wealth, and the Bluebird of Happiness. Acrylic on Canvas. Hexagram 58: The Joyous was repeated as a serigraph, in a series illustrating the I Ching poems of Hale Thatcher, exhibited at at the Ford House in 1971. If you have photos of others in the series, we would be grateful for them. SKU: CS197017

THE MENDOCINO ART CENTER

Located on coastal Northern Pomo land, the Mendocino Art Center is a place for artists to retreat, gather, develop our crafts, and practice using our art to serve our communities.

The Mendocino Art Center is entering a new chapter. We have long been a space for artists to build community, share skills, and find a sense of grounding. As we welcome a new Executive Director, many new board members, and some new staff, we seek to bring the MAC into a new era. We will continue to offer our traditional programming—art workshops, affordable artist lodging, events, exhibitions, a shop, and more—but we seek to make our center more accessible to more people, and a regenerative force for our community.

The Mendocino Art Center resides on the unceded territory of the Northern Pomo people. We recognize that the colonization of this land has caused great harm to Pomo people and other Indigenous peoples, and that the Mendocino Art Center has benefited from this harm. We seek to be better guests on this land, and are working to build better relationships with our Indigenous neighbors and Indigenous visitors from beyond this region.

We commit to upholding social and ecological justice in our community; to build more shared community resources; to share skills for climate resilience and community care; and to welcome those who have been historically excluded.
