Ronde schotel met in het midden een gat, door Pierre Raymond gedecoreerd met voorstellingen van vermoedelijk Mozes c. 1876 - 1883

This photograph captures a round bowl, decorated by Pierre Raymond and photographed by Léon Vidal, its circular form immediately drawing the eye. The bowl's surface is intricately designed with figures believed to depict Moses. The composition emphasizes a central void, a hole that pulls the surrounding narrative into its orbit. This void challenges the traditional function of a plate, disrupting its status as a mere surface for display. The figures are arranged radially. This arrangement, combined with the central void, might suggest a disruption of linear narrative, instead offering multiple points of entry and interpretation. The image engages with broader themes of representation and absence, questioning how meaning is constructed through both presence and lack. Consider how the interplay between form and void invites us to reconsider the boundaries of art itself.
