Lysistrata, oil on board from France, dated 1960–1970, 93 × 73 cm, 3.0 kg, hand-signed, original edition.
Description from the seller
- Oil on board. Hand-signed.
- Look at them, Lysistrata, how they rise in weapons of flesh and edge, a furious and monolithic crowd, a pagan and post-Cucture? thíasos that rejects softness and silk to forge itself in the rounded geometry of resistance. There are no submissive matriarchs or languid courtesans here; they are women of all classes and none, a unique, militant caste of minds versed in broken planes and the sharp line, who have learned to use their own naked bodies as a shield and a declaration of total war against the phallocentric order. Look at the one on the left, with her icy gaze and clenched fist, a proletarian Athena ready to crush consensus; or the one in the center, who supports her child not as a peace offering, but as a banner of future insurrection, the fruit of a lineage that will know no masters. There are those who display tense muscle and broad backs, an impregnable rear guard before which any male siege will crash like water against a cliff. This is not a tragic chorus; it is a final assault, a sacred conspiracy of powerful forms and earthy colors that, in their combative nudity, have decided that peace is won only with the same overwhelming fury that the ancients reserved for war.
