Condition
Colour:
The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although fails to convey the neon qualities of the red and pink pigment.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is a small dent in the top right hand corner, which is likely to be inherent. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.

Catalogue Note
“Whether they show the interior of an airline plane... or a round table where a few men – of state, presumably – are seared... de Balincourt’s perspectives are extremely distorted. The vanishing point draws us in towards the center of the image and places us at the heart of a deformed cone of vision. Like an omnipotent voyeur with a widen gaze” (Thibaut de Ruyter, ‘The Realistic Naivety of Jules de Balincourt’, Art Press, February 2006, online).
