Le Yack - Soluble Fish - Hand-signed

A downward view onto the sand. A woman with long wavy hair lies on a blue-and-white striped sheet, her head tilted back, eyes closed, lips slightly parted; with one hand she holds open a Gallimard volume of The Poets by André Breton, the striped fabric sliding across her chest. In the upper left, on a red-and-white gingham cloth, three isolated objects: a pear, a banana, a pepper mill — an absurd inventory laid there as a signature. Semiotically, the canvas mirrors its own program: the reader has left the book to enter the state the book describes, and the incongruous still-life corner is precisely the image of this tilt. The ochre sand, the cool stripes, the dazzling gingham articulate three textures in a smooth, fleshy facture, where the rendering of the flesh cites the great tradition of the reclining nude.
