Masterpieces – The History of a Period

The Call of the Nation (100 x 73 cm – 1990)

Here is a pyramid, a human mountain crowned by three flags, a Trinity in a Unity, a patriotic poetic chant. Flags in such compositions are indispensable. The base of the pyramid in the foreground is formed by a stirring crowd, almost monochrome with its red and its ochre, leaving an opening for the upper parts, developing in circles, while a discreet and hidden geometry holds the whole work together. All is toned down, the forms, lines, colors and matter. Another plan, of a shade of blue, continues the composition, making dialogue with the whole to form a symphony, a work both musical and silent that cannot be described in words.
