Сидящая пара

18th–early 19th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 341
Впечатляющий размер и формальная сложность работы привели ученых к заключению, что произведение могло быть предметом похоронного обряда влиятельных членов рода догон. Графическая композиция представляет красноречивое утверждение о человеческой двойственности и о разном по сути, но взаимодополняющем партнерстве мужчины и женщины. Вытянутые тела фигур выполнены как серия параллельных вертикальных линий, пересеченных объединяющими их горизонталями. В сдержанной элегантности и экономии деталей художник возвел мужчину и женщину к универсальному и гармоничному единству.
