Diapason, 1979-80

On a rectangular canvas featuring a grid of varyingly sized rectangles drawn in pencil, five small canvases of different sizes – four of them viewed from the recto, one from the verso –- in turn feature a register of rectangular “paintings”, thus creating a game of agreements and dissonances.
The ensemble is "harmonized" by the brass ornament (a goddess driving a chariot drawn by a pair of swans) at the top of the canvas striking the “tuning fork”.
The same theme was developed in two other variants made during the same year (GPO-0427, GPO-0428).
