Catalogue Note

Le personnage impose par la seule bouche - grande ouverte et vers laquelle converge l'un des bras - toute la puissance de son expression. Celle-ci est accentuée par la force des volumes projetés et par sa surface épannelée à la patine noire, profonde - brillante sur les parties saillantes.
