Earth Rise
Derman Uzunoglu
Acrylic on canvas
1974

Turkish artist Derman Uzunoglu drew upon his interest in Byzantine mosaics for this rendering of the “Earthrise” photograph. The intent of his artwork, he said, was to bring together science, social, and philosophical achievements with the possibility they would relay a message about tomorrow.
