Height 130 cm - Width : 96 cm Provenance : - Private collection of a member of the collector's collective La Peau du Chat, then by descent. Bibliography: Cécile Baboulène. Christian Babou, catalog raisonné 1946-1970/2005. Édition Antoine Raymond, 1999. Reproduced under reference 0400. Note: This work belongs to the "Ornaments (1974-1976)" series, originally conceived for catalogs for the guild of roofing craftsmen to which his father and grandfather belonged. Through these images of ornaments, once intended for the 19thᵉ century bourgeoisie, the artist seems to propose a social critique by purifying the motif.
