An Adam and an Eve, by Stefan Stenudd.

An Adam and an Eve

Oil on canvas, 1975

I don't think that was on my mind when I painted it, but now the canvas immediately strikes me as portraying maybe not Adam and Eve, but an Adam and an Eve. There are, certainly, lots of them. It amazed me to see how two persons on the same canvas would bring so much more to the scene, even if they were not exactly relating to one another. Like in the arithmetics of procreation: one and one become three, but the third here being that figure or story or adventure or novel, which is the relation between them. Well, I guess that could really be said about procreation too.
