  • Description

    The form of this montage is very close to the two-dimensional collages of the Russian constructivists. Like them, Tabard's picture seems to float in an immeasurable cosmic space, composed of austere planes and representations of the actual world, which are arranged in contradictory perspectives.

  • Signatures, Inscriptions, and Markings
