Theosophy Tapestries
Description: The Madame Helena Blavatsky Design is inspired by the famous Russian philosopher, author, spirit medium and co-founder of the Theosophical Society Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. A divisive figure during her lifetime, Blavatsky wrote a number of books expounding her views on theosophy which she described as "the synthesis of science, religion and philosophy".
Description: This composition is a prime example Mondrian’s astonishingly limited visual language. It consists of just horizontal and vertical lines in black, with planes of white and the three primary colours, from which all other colours are derived by mixing. The structure, the order of the elements in a coherent whole and the pure colour were meant to suggest an ethical view of society. Each individual element and the configuration to which it contributes were intended to symbolise the relationship between the individual and the collective, or the universal.
