' Love is Blind 2'
June 2021
'Love is Blind 2' is a paper on canvas collage, measuring 20x20 cm.
The surrealistic composition is built up from five elements on a white background.
The collage shows a black and white photo of a glamorous couple of which the eyes and top part of the face are replaced by various items.
The vintage couple are film stars Michele Morgan and Jean Marais for the film 'Aux yeux des souvenirs', a 1948 French language motion picture romantic drama directed by Jean Delannoy.
The image is a cut out from a fifties French film magazine.
The main background image is a detail of an illustration of Robert Rauschenberg's assemblage: 'Snow Crab Cristal Glut'.
The composition is finished with an other detail of an illustration of Robert Rauschenberg's assemblage: 'Blind Rosso, Porpora Glut', a cut out circle with one eye and a red rose.
The elements contrast and complement each other.
As a result the objects seem to give the couple their expression.
Paper collage, signed, varnished and delivered with a certificat of authenticity.
