SOM#073, Robert Lohman, Nature - Creativity, 1966

Photo by John Birks. This example has less of the desirable green patina than the following medal, but better shows the sculptural definition.
Numbers Issued: 807 Bronze
FROM THE ARTIST
“To pay homage to Nature for Her multitudinous contributions to mankind’s intellect and perennial inspiration is intended in this medal.
To meditate and perhaps somewhat penetrate Nature’s mysteries is open to all who search and see. Infinite variety, irregularity, and some element of surprise always occur in nature. Sometimes She is brutal; at other times, sensitive and mysterious.
Here are the participants: everyone; everything!”
