Le Maréchal

Various artists/makers

Not on view

Glass encountered Surrealism while training in Paris, the movement’s epicenter, during the 1950s. The drypoints in the three volumes of Le Maréchal relate stylistically to drawings that Glass has produced in ballpoint pen since his days in Paris. These small, often ghostly, images are composed of intertwining figures, animals, and creatures some set in dreamlike landscapes. Each portfolio is accompanied by a poem by the Argentine author Alejandra Pizarnik.
