In 1989 Ejay Weiss embarked on the “Eden”-series that concluded in 1992. The theme of Adam & Eve were part of the series that focused on a blue square. At this time, Weiss was also influenced by the theories of Euclid who suggested the mathematical problem of squaring the circle. Weiss pursued this unresolved problem over 3 years. The paintings below are titled “Adam & Eve #1” (August 1989, Acrylic on canvas, 42” x 42”, III) and “Adam & Eve #2” (September 1989, Acrylic on canvas, 42” x 42”, II). From 1960 to 1963 Weiss studied Architecture and Painting with Sibyl Moholy-Nagy at Pratt Institute. From 1963 to 1965 he studied painting at New York University.
