unveiled what is widely considered to be his masterpiece: A 48-by-38-foot “endomosaic” mural that spans the entire southern face of the California Masonic Memorial Temple’s main foyer. The term was an invention of the artist’s, alluding to his unique method of artmaking.

Building architect Albert Roller had seen one of his so-called “endomosaic” windows at the Casa Munras hotel in Monterey (near Norman’s Big Sur home) and envisioned a similar, light-filled work dominating the new temple building. In 1956, Roller commissioned Norman to produce a showstopping endomosaic for the temple’s interior, as well as a bas relief war memorial sculpture for the temple facade.</p><p> </p> </div> <div class="section_cta"> <a class="copy-cta" href="https://californiafreemason.org/2022/09/16/emile-norman/">ABOUT THE ARTIST</a> </div> </div> </div> <script> jQuery( document ).ready(function() { ScrollTrigger.create({ trigger: '.slidez-367fc33', // scroller: '.fullpage-js-slideshow', start: 'top top', // endTrigger: '.slide2', // end: 'bottom 50%+=100px', pin: '.backgroundz-img-367fc33', pinSpacing: false, }) }); </script> <div id="slide-32e2bc8" class="fullpage-js-slideshow__slide slidez-32e2bc8"> <div class="backgroundz-img backgroundz-img-32e2bc8" style="background-image: url('https://freemason.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Clemile_-Brooks-Clement-and-Emile-examining-carved-marble-slab-in-progress-for-CMMT-exterior.-Italy.-1957.jpg'); background-position: center center; background-size: cover; background-repeat: ; background-color: ;"></div> <div class="full-slideshow__contentz copyz copy-32e2bc8"> <div class="copyz-inner"> <h3>The Project of a Lifetime</h3> <p> </p><p>Norman threw himself headlong into the commission.

Beneath them, four panels illustrate the seafaring industries and the 1846 landing at Monterey by Admiral John Drake Sloat, thought to be the first Mason to arrive in California. At bottom, two panels depict the early schooners that arrived in California by way of the Hawaiian Islands. Some of the first-known Masons to land in California were sea captains like John Meek, a trader on the Hawaii–California route who in 1843 became a charter member of Le Pres No. 124, the first Masonic lodge in Hawaii. In 1852, he organized Hawaiian Lodge No. 24 under the Grand Lodge of California.

Finally, the staircase—typically seen as winding—is made up of three, five, and seven steps. The sets of steps align with the teachings of each of the three degrees of Masonry. The first three steps are explained as representing life stages (youth, manhood, old age); followed by the five steps that allude to the five orders of architecture, or the five senses; and finally the seven steps, representing the seven liberal arts and sciences (grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy).</p> </div> </div> </div> <script> jQuery( document ).ready(function() { ScrollTrigger.create({ trigger: '.slidez-fd27828', // scroller: '.fullpage-js-slideshow', start: 'top top', // endTrigger: '.slide2', // end: 'bottom 50%+=100px', pin: '.backgroundz-img-fd27828', pinSpacing: false, }) }); </script> <div id="slide-c640538" class="fullpage-js-slideshow__slide slidez-c640538"> <div class="backgroundz-img backgroundz-img-c640538" style="background-image: url('https://freemason.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EmileNorman-Mural-342.jpg'); background-position: center center; background-size: cover; background-repeat: ; background-color: ;"></div> </div> <script> jQuery( document ).ready(function() { ScrollTrigger.create({ trigger: '.slidez-c640538', // scroller: '.fullpage-js-slideshow', start: 'top top', // endTrigger: '.slide2', // end: 'bottom 50%+=100px', pin: '.backgroundz-img-c640538', pinSpacing: false, }) }); </script> <div id="slide-85e6f1a" class="fullpage-js-slideshow__slide slidez-85e6f1a"> <div class="backgroundz-img backgroundz-img-85e6f1a" style="background-image: url('https://freemason.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EmileNorman-Mural-351.jpg'); background-position: center center; background-size: cover; background-repeat: ; background-color: ;"></div> <div class="full-slideshow__contentz copyz copy-85e6f1a"> <div class="copyz-inner"> <h3>Emblems of Masonry</h3> <p><strong><em>Three steps and pot of incense</em></strong></p><p>Running along the top and bottom of the mural are several images with esoteric meanings to Masons.
