Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is cooler in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All four edges are uneven. The canvas is attached to the backing board in several places on the reverse. All surface irregularities are inherent to the artist's working process.

Catalogue Note
"I have no use for the cultishness of classic surrealism or for its tight repertoire of methods. In fact, just the opposite is true: on my canvas, as in my mind, anything is possible. Input from the sphere of the unconscious happens perfectly naturally and is woven into the fabric of my paintings with elements of the real. I think that I have developed a highly flexible process for the making of pictures with long-lasting effect."
