AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

One of the greats of the past century who dedicated his entire artistic career to research, up to maturity. Then, precisely in 1996, he seems to have rediscovered his deepest and most authentic roots through the rediscovery of the human face, in its existential and dramatic dimension. It is in 1996 that his "Apotres" (apostles) and Philosophes (philosophers) are born. The work I present is one of the most recognized by critics for its intensity. It is an oil on paper of incredible power, bordering on the grotesque. Extraordinary!
