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
