Catalogue Note

Salon de musique de la résidence de Joshua Cosden, Palm Beach, Etats-Unis.
La beauté du corps en mouvement, de sa gestuelle, étudié comme motif dans des séries qui visent à le décomposer pour mieux le dessiner, fascine Sert dès ses débuts. L'étude séquentielle de ces deux hommes a vraisemblablement été utilisée pour plusieurs autres projets, car le recyclage de motifs est une constante à l'atelier du catalan.
