Catalogue Note
signed and dated twice on the back; plastic sheets mounted on panel. Executed in 1967.
En novembre-décembre 1966, à l'occasion de l'exposition Variable Geometry à la Galerie Iolas à New York, Martial Raysse rappelle qu' « un peintre travaille sur la perception, ingénieur de la vision [...], phénomène, psychologique subjectif et sentimental » (Martial Raysse, RMN, 1992, p.96). Dans le cadre de ses œuvres à géométrie variable, Martial Raysse isole les composantes du visage, leur attribue une forme prototypale et, par un jeu de close up, les surdimensionne. L'Oeil vaut ainsi comme tout autonome, inédit et monumental.
